    So many scriptwriting competitions to choose from - so glad I chose this one. James and Natalie were amazing. Made me feel at ease and welcomed me in as part of their rapidly expanding family. My script 'THE DIE IS CAST' is not for the faint hearted. Not an easy subject matter. I wasn't expecting the judging to be so progressive and open minded. Great feedback. I met smart, genuine people and feel with their help I have a much better chance of getting this film made.

    Without doubt, one of the most rewarding festivals around. My script 'One of Us' was an Official Selection which warranted an amazing call to discuss useful ways to move it forward and get it closer to production. Experts in their field, the organisers are thorough, friendly, super knowledgeable, and very very helpful. This is one festival you definitely want to submit to!
