We are thrilled to advance entries to the Finalist round for another read. A huge congratulations to every writer advancing. Stay tuned for the Winners announcement on May 15th!
We also want to acknowledge all of the strong scripts that did not advance. If your script is not on this list, it does not at all mean that our judges didn’t enjoy the read – in fact, we’re confident some of the scripts not advancing will bring their writers success in the very near future. Thank you for entering your script and always keep writing.
