When Doors Don't Open, We Create Our Own.

Too often, talented writers and independent filmmakers face closed doors, complicated pathways, and barriers that have little to do with the quality of their stories.

9th Room Originals was created to offer another way.

Founded by Nonny Mendoza, a U.S. Navy veteran, published author, entrepreneur, and independent media producer, our company was built on a passion for storytelling and a belief that creativity should never be restricted by industry connections or traditional gatekeeping.

We develop original screenplays and story concepts across all genres, connecting directly with independent filmmakers and producers who want to bring compelling stories to life through creative production partnerships.

We also offer commissioned screenwriting services for independent creators with stories of their own.

Our vision is simple: build an independent creative ecosystem where storytellers and filmmakers collaborate directly, opportunities are created rather than waited for, and the story always comes first.
