Super Congrats Sir DCM!   Grin  Cool

Now let us hope pray that femuscular scripts become the "in" thing with screen writers.  Wink

Might I heartily endorse AlexG in his thoughts? Cool  Except I would modify it to read:

Thank you, everyone!

I should note that the RIIFF website has been updated; they corrected the spelling of my name in one instance, plus they gave the correct credit, as agreed to by Joel and me: "by David C. Mathews [sic] and Joel Davis". (Still misspelled my name in that case, but, well, can't win 'em all, I guess...)

(They misspelled my name - twice - and they mistakenly have me "resid[ing] in Los Angeles" - but that can be corrected.)

Of course, you have to be from L.A. for the script to be good enough to win the Grand Prize! Roll Eyes CONGRATULATIONS! It's a sign of the times that a fantasy genre script won the top prize!

Now sell that bad boy!

I dunno about that - one of the things they noted in the award announcement is that Joel is a native of Cranston, RI, so the organizers were very pleased that a "native son" won (or co-won, as the case may be) the Grand Prize.  (And no, I don't think Joel's RI origins helped us win - there had to have been numerous other submissions from Rhode Island natives, some of whom I'm sure still live there.)

What's funny about that is that I honestly didn't think we had a chance of winning any prize (much less the Grand Prize) precisely because our screenplay was a fantasy effort.  These types of scripts (nor the movies made from them) rarely win at film festivals (unless the festival itself is dedicated to fantasy, sci-fi, and horror).  So winning was as much a shock ("They chose a fantasy script??") as a surprise ("OMG we won!!").
