Tuesday, July 29, 2003

Scott Anderson of Harvard Square Script Writers and Jean-Paul Ouellette of Yankee Classic Pictures announcing the winners of the New England Work-In-Progress Screenplay Competition.  The award ceremony was held at the Captain Kidd, a stalwart sponsor of the festival.  The 2003 competition has added a short screenplay category.  The Competition is co-sponsored by Final Draft, makers of the screenwriter's software.  The top three scripts in feature and short win the latest version of Final Draft.

Barbara Wilson Arboleda, author of the feature script "Imperfectly," receiving her award.

Of the feature screenwriters, top winner Robert Gateley of "Hat Trick" could not make the ceremony and both Margaret Broucek (second place with "East Paris") and Spencer Beglarian (hororable mention with "A Vicious Circle") were coming in on the weekend when their short films ("Beauty Parlor Census" and "Just Don't Do It," respectively) were showing at the festival.
