  • Neil Kendricks

    This festival did not have an impact on my career or filmmaking practice. They contacted me as a finalist, but then radio silence. I was hoping for networking opportunities, which did not materialize. Perhaps, the festival was a more positive experience for the award winners.

    For one of the first festivals I submitted my screenplay too, Script & Storyboard is a great place for first time writers! I highly encourage others to submit their work as well.

    I am beyond thrilled to have had my play 'Red-Handed' selected as a semi-finalist this year. It went beyond expectation and I am impressed with the process from start to finish.
    I cannot review the hospitality and networking aspects as I live outside the US and was not part of any of those events/ processes - but wish to extend my heartfelt thanks for recognising my writing.
