Thank you to the overwhelming number of entries from aspiring screenwriters. The talent you packed into your scripts was awe inspiring — so much so that we added five lucky winners to the runners up category! WINNERS: keep an eye out in the mail for your FREE copies of Final Draft scriptwriting software, a signed copy of The Seven Rays, and other signed goodies from Ms. Bendinger.

We held our Skype sessions last Thursday, June 24 at QED International in Hollywood, CA. We were joined by Producer Gail Lyon, CAA Agent Jessica Matthews, former Development Exec and pitching expert Thia Montroy and our favorite Screenwriter/Director/Producer Jessica Bendinger. Special Thanks to all second place winners for your well-planned and executed pitches.

We look forward to holding other contests in the future and are eternally grateful for the truly hard work put into all submissions.
