JZ Murdock: Screenwriter, author and filmmaker in Bremerton, Washington.

Seems the update & slight reorientation to my play Denude, a one act play, has won an award. Cheers!

Just a few words about my true crime/biopic 1974 period film, "The Teenage Bodyguard" which has gone through some changes and research over the years:

There must be a reason this screenplay has so far received 3 official selections and 7 international awards in 10 out of the 13 awards events I have submitted it to. Something in it is apparently touching people. Though I believe the value is not just in the screenplay, but also in the story itself and the era. And the currently accessible individual who lived it all.

It's currently waiting to hear from 3 screenplay contests via ISA and I've just submitted some queries to a few major management companies. Some I had submitted to a few years ago before it's current incarnation and awards.

One major company so far, who requested a submission.

Cheers!
