A Touch of Fire has once again earned recognition at a screenwriting competition.

May / June 2017
We are proud to announce the first festival recognition of our Winding Road television pilot. Screenplay Festival, based out of Sherman Oaks, CA, first announced in February that Winding Road had been selected as a Semi-Finalist. By May, we were ecstatic to learn that the Judges at Screenplay Festival had moved us into a Finalist position. At the beginning of June, we were excited to learn that Winding Road, for the first time, has won an Honorable Mention award in the TV Script – One Hour category at Screenplay Festival. We were honored to receive laurels last week and they are now posted on our Awards page!!
April 2017
Although we didn’t take home a big prize at the iHorror Awards, we are excited to see On-Set Upgrade gain more recognition having secured Official Selection status at the Portland Comedy Film Festival. The concept behind this screenplay – time traveling, dimension shifting hammock included – was originally the brainchild of Martin Qureshi. He brought Dean on board early and together they fleshed out the details – flesh tearing and blood spurts included. Inspired by the notion of collaborating on a project and thinking two minds are better than one – sometimes for dinner too! – they penned the hilariously gory throwback flick On-Set Upgrade. Final nomination and winners for the Portland Comedy Film Festival will be announced next month.

This month our feature film screenplay A Touch of Fire, and our 360-Video short film script The Costume, have both received nominations for the 3rd Annual iHorror Awards! It is an honor to be selected, especially since this is the first year the iHorror.com team has accepted open entries from the film industry. This is the second nomination for A Touch of Fire, as it was previously a 2016 Finalist for TheWriteRoom.org annual Screenplay Competition.
