I learned today that my play “A Flower of the Field” was judged to be within the top 20% of scripts by the Austin Film Festival!

The Austin Film Festival (AFF) was founded in 1994 and serves 20,000+ people with year-round programming that “furthers the art and craft of storytelling by inspiring and championing the work of writers, filmmakers, and all artists who use written and visual language to tell a story.”

AFF is well-known for its annual October Austin Film Festival and Conference, which was “the first event of its kind, bringing professional and amateur screenwriters together to celebrate the role of screenplays in filmmaking and host conversations focusing on craft and on particular films and television series.”

I’m extremely proud to have my play within the top 20% of playscript entries considering that the festival is more oriented towards screenwriitng than playwriting, it receives hundreds and hundred of submissions per year, and it’s such a well-respect and well-known event.

Many thanks to Austin Film Festival – and I wish them the best for their big festival in October!
