My screenplay Consider Icarus advanced into the Quarterfinal Round in the Nicholl Fellowship!! Out of a record 7,197 screenplays, 368 advanced!! Anyone else?
I'll check your loglines and synopsis out! I actually made it to semifinalist in Final Draft's Big Break Contest (and quarterfinalist in Cynosure), but got nada out of either one (which was really surprising to me!). The Nicholl is really the way to go for industry interest...
Table Read is an excellent contest. On the rise. The move to Austin, in my opinion, is fantastic. Better than the previous Sundance location simply due to the fact that Austin is a screenwriter-centric festival. I also definitely recommend Creative World Awards. Simply one of the best run out there. Feedback on all scripts. Bix - You can't go wrong with the Page either. Their judges (especially those handling the later rounds) have a world of experience.
Thanks for the info, Richard!! I'm really thinking about Table Read because I went to a screenwriting event in Austin and loved it. Did enter CWA, so fingers crossed!! Will say hey to Nikolas if I get the chance!
Also, Richard - I wanted to tell you have much I'm loving Stage 32 - I've been meeting some great, seriously talented people here (which is REALLY hard to do on most sites)! I think this is going to be a great year and I can't wait! Lori
Thank you so very much, Lori! I can't tell you how much I appreciate the support. The entire community, with very few exceptions, is overwhelmingly positive and focused. Simply thrilling to see so many people find success through contacts they've made through the site. Wishing you the very best of luck with Creative World and all your 2013 endeavors! RB
That's an amazing accomplishments Lori and one of the best and well respected screenwriting competitions you could be a quarterfinalist in. Sending love your way!
Hey congrats albeit belated... And you dance with tornados too! Would you mind sharing a piece of the script so I could read what award winning writing looks like? Congrats again!
