Current mood:  ecstatic
We’re thrilled to announce that the screenplay for “The Bloodfest Club” is among the top 10 percent of more than 6,200 entries in the 2009 Nicholl Fellowships in Screenwriting Competition.  Nicholl, sponsored by the Academy of Motion Picture Arts & Sciences, is the world’s most esteemed screenwriting competition and each year scripts are evaluated by paid professional readers who narrow down thousands of entries to five Nicholl Fellows later this year.

We hope this unexpected critical validation will allow us to get our screenplay into the hands of a production company or additional investors in the very near future.
