A Winnie!

A long time between posts, that is for sure.  But - rest assured dear reader, I am still (Stubbornly) at work with the task of selling my screenplay.

The past few years have seen a lot of screenplay competitions.  I always make the first cut, but never the finalists.  I believe it's because the people that award the laurels think kid-friendly movies are not marketable.  That is bullshit.  Kid movies always sell.  I could go off on a tangent right here about everything that comes out of Hollywood now is a remake of an old blockbuster, a sequel or a prequel of an old blockbuster, or just pure crap.  But that is obvious to any moviegoer and I will let it rest at that.

I entered the EQUUS film festival and won first prize - a Winnie! - for Screenplay - Literary.  A poser to me because aren't screenplays by definition literary?  First thing that happened is that my copyrighted screenplay got published and is available on Amazon.  So, that's a foot in the door, dear readers!

Also, I was contacted by one of the EQUUS staff who has expressed interest in optioning my screenplay for 18 months!  She's meeting with her attorney today and will phone tomorrow.
