Here are some successes of Script Savvy customers in 2009:
Our May 2009 winner Kiss Me Lucky garnered nearly 30 script requests for author Sheri Davenport, which ultimately lead to an option agreement with Smash Media Films. Congratulations, Sheri!
Congratulations to Alan Cockrill and Stephen Lincoln. Director/producer Thomas Anthony Taddeo with NystreeFilms read the first 20 pages of their Script Savvy winning screenplay "The Mind of a Political Assassin" and signed them to write an as-of-yet untitled con artist thriller.
Our January contest winner Kelly Parks has optioned his screenplay "Drawing Dead" with Magic Factory Productions.
We're also happy to announce that Marjory Kaptanoglu has landed a writing assignment with our sponsor SolPictures, based on the strength of her October 2008 winning screenplay "Direct Descent".
Zack Van Eyck, an honorable mention winner in the June 2008 Script Savvy contest, recently optioned his screenplay "Alley Cats" to Bad Turtle Productions. This is the fourth option for Van Eyck, whose first movie, "Jupiter Landing" is available for rental via Netflix. He currently has 5 scripts in development or pre-production.
