  • Fresh Voices Quarterfinalist announced

    http://www.fresh-voices.com/2013-scr...finalists.html

    This appears to be the list, although has not been confirmed on their Facebook page or through email announcement.

    Personally, I'm in a complete state of shock. I received a score of 135 (or 84%) from the first round judge and didn't make the quarters cut. My state of denial is so strong I'm considering emailing them to ask if something happened, scorecard got lost, pigeon ate my script...

    Just got an email about it, too.

    "We are pleased to let you know that your screenplay has been selected as a Quarter-Finalist of the Fresh Voices Screenplay Competition. You can see the full list of Quarter-Finalists here. If you entered multiple projects, please check the announcement to see which screenplay(s) advanced.

    The competition was fierce and you should be very proud to be amongst the top 15-20% of the nearly 1,500 screenplay entries we received. 261 screenplays advance to the next round of the competition in 9 different categories."

        145, but, no false modesty, I really think I lucked out and got a judge with a big soft spot for sci-fi, which is the category I entered.

          I advanced with a 136 and 140, but that could be because I was in the tv pilots category. Perhaps there was less competition there.

            I would imagine what category you're in. I got a 140 and did not advance.

                I was drama -- I imagine our two had the most entries.

                Still, it was fun to enter and the feedback I received was very positive.

                I'm sorry we didn't advance -- here's a toast to us anyway!

                  Congrats! (Do you think it's too late to switch categories?

                      My 133 kept me out this time. Seems I had an issue with my tone.

                      I don't feel too bad for a first time contest entry.

                        Thanks!

                        Just found out today that I got into the UCLA professional program for TV writing, as well. Maybe I should pick up a lotto ticket at the grocery store tonight.

                          I'll pick up the tab for the booze if you can pick me up a lotto ticket

                          Holy cow, is it your week! Congrats on the UCLA program!

                            Thread bump for semifinals. Anyone still in?

                              It's a good way to start the day -- I'm still in!
