    Thank you Screen Power for this Best Feature Script award. My story is quirky and outside the norm, I am humbled you 'got it.' Any and all contact with this festival is a delight, and I highly recommend every film maker/ writer to submit, especially stores that are 'outside the box.' Cheers!! Will ~

    I am very happy to see my Short: A New Strong Spring selected at the Screen Power Film Festival. Thank you for the opportunity offered to me to have visibility on your web channels. My Short is very short; but it was done with passion, attention, care.
    My best wishes to the Screen Power Film Festival to always be able to grow and support the small realities of the vast ocean of Cinema.
    Wishes for an industrious year 2021.
