Woo hoo!

by HML

Cartwheeling pageboy from NA1I’m delighted to report that NR received an Honorable Mention in the 2006 Gloria Film Festival’s screenplay competition! From the original submissions in February, about half (33) were chosen as finalists in May, and out of those 33, only seven screenplays (four original, three adapted) were recognized Friday night with either Honorable Mentions or top honors.

The winning adapted screenplay is based on A Christmas Carol, and while my tastes are decidedly more Austenian, it is not too shabby to have to concede victory to Mr. Dickens … just this once.

The screenwriters were informed that several production companies have asked to see the winning screenplays, and I gladly gave permission to release my contact information, should NR catch anyone’s interest. We will also receive the judges’ comments and scoring, a very rare opportunity in these competitions, and I’m looking forward to that.

Many, many thanks to the Gloria Film Festival! It was a wonderful experience!

31 August ETA: *Girly squeal!* It doesn’t take much to make me happy.

    Hi, great Blog, by the way.

Anyway, I read your post on Austenblog.com aout the screencaps of actor JJ Feild and my fansite regarding him. Please, if you are still interested, write me your E-mail address or send me an E-mail…
    I really hope to receive a reply.
