I want to say that we have been in initial contact with Fox regarding Frijolito, Go! and would like to thank you very much for opening that door.

"Angela's Decision" was picked up by Australian director Mat King. It is in pre-production now and is being filmed in Australia beginning on January 30, 2006. I don't think this script would have been requested for a read if it hadn't been for placing in your contest. So, thank you, thank you, thank you! For giving this opportunity to screenwriters and short scripts in particular. And thanks for putting the screenwriter first. This is the only short I've written. I've written several features, and one of those has been optioned twice now. I am looking for an agent now and I think because of this short being produced, it will certainly help. This director also is a pro and does quality work, so I couldn't have asked for a better opportunity. Thanks again!!!

I know a lot of script contest winners that I have met from around the country and your prizes blow everyone else away... I enjoyed the Expo and met a Manager with Arpil Entertainment .... He's currently reading my stuff.
