    I was so happy to see both of my films made this film festival! "Tink" won a bronze medal and "Dear Michael" - an honorable mention. Yeah!

    This is one of the good ones - award winners get a referral to an actual production company, which at the end of the day is all that any of us really wants. Of course, it doesn't mean that your winning script will be taken up or, as in my case, they will actually reply to your email. Still, a contest better than most.
