"Keep writing, everybody, and then keep putting what you write out there for people to read. Sometimes they like it. Thanks, Screenplay Festival."

Steve Harper, Quantum Forces
Grand Prize Winner, 2004

"After years of knocking on doors to promote my screenplay, now – as a winner in the Screenplay Festival – producers are knocking on my door."

Steven Schwab, The Adventures of Captain Paragon
Honorable Mention Winner, 2004

"What a ride it has been! With the placement of my Honorable Mention award on Inktip, I  have had more than 400 producers or directors checking out my work. And to top it off, because of you I now have a great agent who is putting Felix in the right hands."

Chris Canole, Felix the Flyer
Honorable Mention Winner, 2004

"Screenplay Festival was the first (and only) contest my screenplay was entered in, and needless to say, I was thrilled with the results!  The entire experience was wonderful, including the added bonus of attending the follow-up pitch sessions!"

Catherine Paul, UPRISING - In The Midst Of Darkness
Honorable Mention Winner, 2004

"I really appreciate having my script, The End, receive Honorable Mention recognition from Screenplay Festival 2004. The application process was easy and the contest was conducted in a very professional manner. I have received several requests for my script as a result of this contest."

Jack Kolkmeyer, The End
Honorable Mention Winner, 2004

"As a Japanese born writer who grew up with American movies, I have always wanted to win an award in an American competition.  I feel much honored that your festival chose my screenplay. It seems like a part of my life-time dream comes true!"

Hiroshi Nakajima, White Room
Honorable Mention Winner, 2004

"I wrote an off-beat script which I thought would get no attention.  Well, it did.  A lot of attention, thanks to the variety of categories in this competition."

Russell Bouthiller, Dragula
Honorable Mention Winner, 2004

"The Paper Route is a very personal project that explores difficult feelings about parents and siblings and growing up, and so it is especially gratifying to have it recognized in the family category of this contest.  Screenplay Festival has done a wonderful thing in spotlighting screenplays from such a variety of genres and for giving encouragement to writers whose works are a little outside of the mainstream.

Danny Howell, The Paper Route
Honorable Mention Winner, 2004
