BlueCat

Well hey.

How about that.

My script The D Line made it into the quarterfinals at the 2008 BlueCat Screenplay Competition.

I’m no mathematician, but from a glance it looks like about 15% of the “more than 2700” scripts entered made it.

I’m not expecting producers to be scrambling to set up meetings with me and a bidding war to begin, but I won’t pretend to be so cool that I wasn’t excited to see my script listed.

Feels good to have made the first cut of my first screenplay competition. There are a lot of competitions out there, but I chose this one because it seemed one of the more legit ones -- as in many of the winners have gone on to get work sold.

Of course, we're a long way from "winner." They announce the semifinalists August 1st, then five finalists mid-August and I think the winner at the end of August.

At the very least though, it motivates me to hustle along on this action script – which actually has been going along pretty well the last few days during lunchtime writing sessions…
