    I was pleased to enter my screenplay into this genre film festival and be recognized as an Official Selection. However, they have not yet announced the Best Screenplay winner. I look forward to learning who won. Finally, the entry fee is quite reasonable.

    I absolutely love Sandie. She made it fun and welcoming. Even if I don’t put in a film next year I’m coming to watch.
