Second year in the finals for me. Last year won the Silver with a different script. The script that made the finals this year topped out at the semi's last year.
I LOVE THE PAGE!!!
This and the Nicholl are the only contests I've entered where it seems like the people who run it CARE about the people who enter. It's not just that they run a professional contest and meet their own deadlines (though some other contests don't even do that) -- it's the warmth and the fun.
And it doesn't hurt that they like my scripts.

Amending the above to add Amazon Studios to the list of contests that treat entrants well. They don't charge an entry fee. And they have winners every MONTH. And even the semi-finalists every month get their choice of a hat, mug, or t-shirt.
And some of the people who advance are getting free studio feedback, including from the head of the studio for ZvG.

Didn't expect to make the semis, so I'll take that.
Good luck to everyone who got invites to the big dance!
I took the plunge and started my own production company called Laughing Cow Productions and moved ahead with making this film myself.

If you pledge $20 on our Kickstater campaign for Catania! or more here http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1472576430/catania-the-movie you'll help me out plus get regular updates on the process of making a movie when you have no resources and no clue. It's probably worth the money for reading about my experiences with an area that has an incredibly steep learning curve.
Do you think you could have started a new thread dedicated to this? There is nothing I hate more than an age old thread I started ages ago shoot to the top for no good reason.
