2007 WINNERS

"The PAGE Awards helped give my script incredible momentum, and not long after my win I took on Gayla Nethercott, head of literary at Buchwald, as my agent and Josh McGuire of Washington Square Arts as my manager. With their help, SLUGGER has now been optioned by Mary Stuart Masterson, who is attached to direct"   Jimmy Miller Van Nuys, California 2007 Gold Prize Winner

"Since winning the Bronze Prize, we've gained a lot of attention for DONOVAN'S ECHO. Several established production companies are currently considering our script, we recently secured an independent investment for the film, and the movie has just been budgeted by an industry pro. The website is now online at donovansecho.com."   Jim Cliffe & Melodie Krieger Kelowna, B.C., Canada 2007 Bronze Prize Winners

"As a result of the PAGE win, I was signed by Beloved Management. And now DEADBEAT BOYFRIENDS has been optioned by L.A. producer James Rich, Jr.  I've quickly learned the value of small steps, and how one positive experience leads to another. For me, everything started with my PAGE win. I wanted the doors to open, and that's exactly what's happening."   Marc Conklin St. Paul, Minnesota 2007 Gold Prize Winner

"In the final round of the 2007 PAGE Awards competition, one of the producers at Polaris Productions read THE COLLECTOR. The script won the Bronze Prize and now has been optioned by Polaris. I'm extremely excited! Many thanks to the staff at PAGE for your on-going support."   Anne Sagel Las Vegas, Nevada 2007 Bronze Prize Winner

"My horror script THE GRAVE is currently in pre-production with Paul Carran and Liz DiFiore of Film Factory New Zealand. Stuart Orme (THE PUPPET MASTERS) is attached to direct."   Jack Davidson Sparks, Nevada 2007 Gold Prize Winner

"I just landed an agent! Barry Perelman read the script over the weekend, called on Monday, and he's now on board representing the material. Also, I got a call last week from producer Ernst-August Schnieder. He'd just read SOLOMON'S WHALE, viewing it as a writing sample, liked what he saw, and has now asked me to do a rewrite of his original sci-fi script."   John Arends St. Charles, Illinois 2007 Grand Prize Winner

"Good news! We signed with ICM. The head of literary there really 'got' us, and we felt most comfortable with him and the other team members. We also signed with Marti Blumenthal as manager, whom we just love. It's been a great year for us, and it all started with us winning the PAGE Award. Thanks so much for all the support you've shown us!!"   Amy Garcia & Cecilia Contreras Manteca, California 2007 Gold Prize Winners

"It's been an exciting couple of weeks! The win has gotten me some really great media exposure here in Israel. The website of one of the major papers ran a nice article about me and the contest, and just today I was interviewed by a national radio station."   Ehud Lavski Herzelia, Israel 2007 Bronze Prize Winner

He plans to shoot the film this spring in southern Germany."   Zack Van Eyck Salt Lake City, Utah 2006 Bronze Prize Winner

"L.A. producer Bob Abramoff heard about JEKYLL & HEIDI from all the PAGE Awards publicity. He emailed me requesting a copy of the script, and I've now signed an option agreement with his company. I am psyched! Can't wait to see what happens next!"   Lisa Yoffee Asheville, North Carolina 2006 Gold Prize Winner

"A couple of weeks after the awards were announced, Jeff Belkin of Foremost Films requested a copy of THE GOD BRINGER and he really liked the script. He signed me as a client and we're now developing the project with Radar Pictures. (By the way, I love the whole silver prize award thing. Looks awesome on the wall.)"   Christian Parkes Shizuoka, Japan 2006 Silver Prize Winner

"Mitchell Galin of Bebe Delight Productions has just optioned our new spec feature BREAK FREE. He spotted our PAGE Award-winning TV pilot KATE & EDITH on InkTip and liked the writing style, so he asked if we had anything else – and the rest is history."   Scott Perlman & Leo Simone Los Angeles, California 2006 Gold Prize Winners

"Let me be blunt. I've won other contests. PAGE has by far generated the most requests for my script. Unbelievably so. Including people who never responded to query letters for the same screenplay. Within a few weeks after the awards were announced I had several companies who wanted to represent me. I'm now happily working with my new managers, Atchity Entertainment International."   David Bertoni Yarmouth, Maine 2006 Gold Prize Winner

"I've just produced my short film MY CHRISTMAS SOLDIER with director Owen Smith (producer/director of THE SUGAR CREEK GANG series).

It has been a whirlwind trip – my first taste of every screenwriter's dream."   Mauriel Joslyn Sparta, Georgia 2006 Silver Prize Winner

2005 WINNERS

"It's been a busy year! I've just finished writing a new musical drama for a producer in South Africa, and I recently optioned one of my spec scripts to an L.A. director. The prestige of the PAGE Awards grows every year, and the reputation is well-deserved."   Lynn Esta Goldman San Francisco, California 2005 Gold Prize Winner

"My horror movie LEFT IN DARKNESS aired on the Sci-Fi Channel in November and has just been released on DVD. I also sold an option on my second horror script DESPAIR'UL to Eduardo Sanchez, Gregg Hale and Matt Compton, three of the creators of THE BLAIR WITCH PROJECT. I'm finishing a rewrite for them next week."   Philip Daay Austin, Texas 2005 Bronze Prize Winner

"Through a recommendation from the contest administrators, I sold X-MAS FILES to a new animation company in India and the movie is now in production. I've also just optioned a couple of my new specs: KID SPAGHETTI was picked up by Eric Pham of Phame Factory and SHE'S A DOG was picked up by L.A. producers Fred Davis and Steven Ritt. So after all these years I'm actually getting my screenplays produced! I definitely attribute this success to the PAGE win."   Larry Postel Dallas, Texas 2005 Grand Prize Winner

After winning the Gold Prize, I landed a paid assignment writing a thriller for Sonet Film in Scandinavia and I optioned SILO 13 to Kerner Productions, an offshoot of George Lucas's ILM. Meanwhile, my new short film DOUBLE (doublefilm.com) is currently screening at Cannes."   Keith Ray Putman Pasadena, California 2005 Gold Prize Winner

"I'm now a staff writer on the CBS show WATERFRONT, about a colorful mayor in Providence (played by Joey Pants). I'm repped by Gersh. Met them early in the year, got sent on meetings in early spring, then was staffed by May. Amazing, eh?! I still can't believe it."   Janet Lin Los Angeles, California 2005 Silver Prize Winner

"LIVING FOR YESTERDAY has now been optioned by Judith Singer, and she is teaming up with David Greathouse to produce the film. I've also just signed with the Blake Friedman Agency in London. Your competition played a great part in this happening for me. I'll always be grateful for that."   Martin McSweeney Cork, Ireland 2005 Bronze Prize Winner

"INFECTED is currently being published as a graphic novel by Atlantis Studios. They have been working on it for about six months and it's now at the printers. Saw the proof. It looks great."   Steve Nolan Charlotte, North Carolina 2005 Gold Prize Winner

"As a result of my prize with you, Ryan Engel of Kopelson Entertainment discovered ABSOLUTION on InkTip.

And I'm now repped by Benderspink Management. I'll keep you posted as we move forward."   Rob Frisbee Lakeville, Minnesota 2005 Bronze Prize Winner
