A nice surprise was waiting for me in my inbox this morning
in the form of an email from the Gimme Credit International Screenplay Competition. Looks like I placed first in their short script
category with my short, Trunk.
This was not the first competition I submitted the script
to, but it was the first to be judged, so technically I can say I won the first
competition I was ever in. Hey, let me gloat a little… opportunities are few
and far between nowadays.
My favorite thing about it, actually, is that I submitted my
entry on the last day they were accepting submissions, after stumbling
upon the site through a Google search for short screenplay competitions. Hurray
for lucky accidents!
Anyway, I realize this is minor, but it’s still a step in
the right direction, and it’s good to feel like I might actually know what I’m
doing!
