Congrats to all 25 Semi-Finalists! 🙂
Hi,
Really happy to have been selected for one of the 25 Finalists for The Secret Life of Dad. Im a big Save The Cat guy and means a lot for my first screenplay.
The only thing – my name is Anthony Kinsella, Francis is my middle name. I think its because my FilmFreeway account is linked to my Facebook account which is under Francis!!! If you’d be able to change it on any future posts Id really appreciate it!
Again, so delighted! And best of luck to the other 24 writers!
Thanks
A
Fixed! And congrats!!
Wow! I looked, expecting disappointment, but BLOODY HELL, my name is on the list! Thanks.
So honored to have made the Top 25! Thank you to everyone at Save The Cat and congratulations to all the Semifinalists!
Hi there!! Dad Band co-writer Ryan Garcia here. Super excited to be a semi-finalist!!!
But there’s a little mistake. It only says that I wrote Dad Band. Could you please add the co-writer Sterling Sulieman as a writer?
Thank you!
Fixed!
Thanks!
CONGRATULATIONS on making the Finals! All the best to you and your writing partner with this project.
Congratulations to the finalists and semi-finalists out there. Good work and keep writing everyone. I know I will. Hopefully we’ll get to see our stories on the big screen some day. I do have just a quick question as to how many entries you brought in for this inaugural year of the competition. Thank you for the thoughtful feedback and I look forward to submitting to STC! again in the future.
Beyond cool to make the Top 25 Semifinalists with my feature drama ABSOLUTION. Thank you & congratulations to all the readers, fellow semifinalists and finalists! Here’s getting the script into the right hands.
Hi there, Will we ever get to read the finalists or winning scripts? Or see their beat sheets?
Would love to see how they did it!
Congrats to everyone!!!
