Narrative Disorder… in Japan!

The Shadowkeeper has been selected as a Quarter Finalist in the PAGE International Screenwriting Competition! The Semi-Finalists will be announced on July 15th. The PAGE is judged on a strict points basis: points from 1-10 are awarded in several catagories from formatting and typos to structure and marketability. There is a Bronze, Silver and Gold award given in each of six genres and a Grand Prize for best over-all script. Getting into the Semis would be fantastic because the Semi-Final round will be judged by actual agents and development directors - which is the definition of exposure! Watch this space!

Well, I received my notes for draft 6 of The Shadowkeeper and it was given a RECOMMEND!!!
So the chase for representation and a producer is on!
What does the Recommend mean? Well, it means I can now query the companies who will accept only “ScriptPIMP Recommends” scripts (the big producers and agents)- the script will also be lodged on Ink-tip (another place the industry looks for scripts) in the ScriptPIMP Recommends section.
The notes outlined some polishing suggestions for the script itself: tweaking formatting, the odd description (like removing the word ‘kitten’ I reference to a baby hare which I will do because it’s obviously not common knowledge that it is the correct term.)
So - next steps: make changes and put in the queries to the big companies in time for Friday’s scriptPIMP email.
Thanks for all your emails of support let’s hope we can have that sale party some time this year!
