Seattle Honors II

 

This festival is really worth submitting to. From the first moment, I realized just how dedicated the organizers are to you the writer and promoting your individual goals. Almost immediately after I was notified I was a finalist, I got a call from the competition. I was paired with a heavy-hitting manager, supplied amazing - and I mean, ah-may-zing! - notes, feedback, and tips on my script, AND a follow-up call to make sure I liked the reader and the notes! Incredible! There's a passion that this festival has for making sure their screenwriters are happy, that is rare to find. I was thrilled, shocked, and very impressed. All communication was professional, prompt, and informative. I highly recommend you check it out and submit.

This is one of those organizations that goes above and beyond your expectations. SISH really delivers on making sure you get pushed forward in your career. It's not just a pat on the back, like so many other competitions. Top finishers get phone calls, numerous emails delivering news of laurels, industry contacts, professional critiques, and good things to come. FIVE STAR in my book. Definitely a cut above the rest. - Todd Sorrel 

Surgeon Hong, was a finalist in the latest festival. In rapid succession, on the announcement date I received a phone notification from the festival telling me of the award, then a brief but pertinent set of notes and suggestions on the script, and then a linkage to a named producer. That's what I call delivering the goods. In ten years, I have not seen such value for money in any other festival or screenwriting competition. While the festival may not be the largest, its outreach is authentic and I had the distinct feeling overall that script writers and non-mainstream scripts matter. - Paul Gross

I am so honored and thankful.

Seattle Honors I

My screenplay, "Rogue's Coward" was the Grand Prize Winner. And for that, thank you so very much. I will forever revere your name. I received a call from Janet Jeffries, Head of Development of Lawrence Bender Productions. She is a gifted, well-spoken professional. And it was an interesting conversation concerning what she and her colleagues gleaned from my story. She had an absolute extraordinary idea that I've already folded into the play. Thank you again.

The organizers selected my screenplay, "1933". The selection was made well ahead of the deadline. This is the seventh award that I have won for this work and it seems like this was the most seamless. Well done!

This was really fun, I'm so happy my script was selected, seems like a really sweet community!
