After being accepted to the Dark River Film Fest for my first feature, I Killed You 'Cause I Had To, I flew down and were treated to almost thirty film premieres shown in competition. The highlights were meeting the other filmmakers and talking "shop."
The icing on the cake: winning BEST FEATURE HORROR/THRILLER!

ATLANTA FILM FEST WEEKEND
I was a winner of the Atlanta Film Festival screenwriting competition.
I, along with other writers, were housed, feed, spoiled and mentored.
The weekend included having my script, Grilled Cheese Virgin analyzed
by two professionals and hearing an excerpt read aloud by actors. I
made connections. improved my script and, most of all, found new
friends.

AUSTIN FILM FESTIVAL
NYCscreenwriter's Steven Arvanites made a pilgrimage to the screenwriting mecca, the Austin Film Festival. There I met industry execs, attended numerous panels, networked and made a lot of new friends. Also, met and chatted with Oscar winning director Ron Howard -- the nicest man in show business.
So sit back, grab a BBQ rib and enjoy!
