The Finalist Destination

Recall a few days ago, when I said we semi-finaled at Austin?

Yeah, that's right: I got the call from Alex, the Austin Film Festival screenplay competition coordinator, about an hour ago.

The Sensitivity Program made it to the final round.

This is incredibly big.

This means our humble little narrative is in the top 0.1 percent of the 4000 entrants, and there are only one or two other finalists in our category.

More later. But for now, just... Wow.

    Hey, I'm teaching a Creative Writing class this year...do you do class visits to discuss the art of screenwriting?

  4. In order:

    Yeah, Rick, I'd do that. Sounds like a blast. Screenwriting is a good way to become a cruel self-editor.

    And I still have time for the blog. Hey, this is a blog marketing opportunity. Wait 'til we get some festival coverage.

    And Dan: You are a nice man. And your opinion is based on a version I sent you about five drafts ago.
