‪Nice news. My historical true story, CONVICTION, has advanced to semi-finalist at the Austin Film Festival Screenplay Competition. Top 2% of over 11,500 entries. I am doubtful it will go any further. So many exceptional writers out there. Grateful! #AFF #AUSTINFILMFEST #SCREENWRITER #SCRIPTSKY

My script, THE ONE PERCENT, co-written with Richard Schmidt, is a Semifinalist in the Austin Film Festival Screenplay Competition!

We will find out in a week if it made it into the FINALS. Wish us luck.

Hey #filmsky!

Likely the last call I'll make on this: is anyone else still pondering accomodations for #AustinFilmFest in 6 weeks?

I've got options I can pull the trigger on if I'm flying solo, but if folks are w/ sharing a space... it gets way more afforable.

Drop me a DM soon if interested. #scriptsky

Do people that got past second round at @austinfilmfest get notified first? Do second rounders go into the next stage (like quarterfinalists usually do) or is that the end? #screenwriting #scriptsky
