Writing Life: ESCAPE Wins Best Screenplay at 2018 IndieBoom Festival

I've reached a major milestone in this journey I've been on with these screenwriting contests. I've been really pleased with my progress so far and the placements I've received over the last few weeks/months.

But I am beyond thrilled to announce that my feature script ESCAPE has just won **BEST SCREENPLAY** in Art of Brooklyn Film Festival's 2018 Indieboom Festival! 

I was so appreciative when ESCAPE made the semi-finals... and then the finals... and then the Top 3. And now I am FREAKING OUT that it's won the entire contest.

I'm honored the jury selected this script for recognition. This has been such an extraordinary experience, particularly as this is the first feature script I've written and I've agonized over it, reworked it, workshopped it, revised it, walked away from it, tinkered with it, and tried to stop tinkering with it. (Impossible, some might say.)

A full list of all of the winners can be found at the IndieBoom! Festival site — congratulations to the filmmakers whose films were selected alongside my script and thank you to IndieBoom!
