In January, we announced [THE COMPETITION], our open scriptwriting tryouts, exclusively for our 3W/3M paid subscribers. Now, after receiving hundreds of entries, we’re back today to announce our first round winners, who will be invited to submit outlines based on their pitches. Here’s Jonathan with the big news…
Okay, so as not to bury the lede, here are the contestants (listed alphabetically) that made the cut:
Randall Avilez
Reed Beebe
Steven Douglas
Thom Dunn
Ramsey Ess
Paris Gh
Alison Humphrey
Y. Lu
Isaac Platizky
Jarod Rhys Pratt
Jeff Telofski
Congratulations are well-deserved here as the competition was pretty intense.
You might notice this is one over the expected ten, but we had a very high hit rate (over 40 submissions made the preliminary cut) which, I suppose, isn’t surprising considering the volume of submissions that were submitted.
On Thursday I’m going to post the submissions with my notes (there won’t be many at this stage), and then you guys can get started on your outlines.
Great job, and again, congrats to those listed above.
Just wanted to drop in and say this really was an embarrassment of riches. It was very hard to get this list down to manageable size.
Great job to everyone who entered!
I'M NOT FREAKIN OUT YOU'RE FREAKIN OUT (I'm freaking out to see my name there)
