WHAT SOME OF OUR ENTRANTS HAVE TO SAY ABOUT
US...
|
|
..
"I feel
very fortunate and deeply honored to be a part of this
competition. The experience has been amazing. It is the
only time I have ever been asked to submit feedback, describe my goals
and aspirations as a screenwriter and articulate what I hope the
contest could do to help me in my career. I’m thoroughly
impressed." -Spencer Belgarian
As with
any form of art, you don't choose to be a screenwriter. It chooses you.
(With a vengeance.) It's good to know there are people out there who
support the brave souls who have embarked on this journey." -Kurt Smith
"Extremely well organized and highly
professional endeavor." -Melissa Howell
"I'm highly honored to
be a finalist. Across the board, it seems like a rarity for any contest
to advance Fantasy/Action screenplays. My experience has always been
that the vast majority of scripts that advance are Dramas and Comedies.
It goes to show that the American Screenwriting Contest uses extremely
versatile readers able to judge any genre." -Phillip Daay
