The Screenplay Awards, presented by Event Horizon Films, recognizes writers who specialize on an individual writing element. Each script was reviewed by working industry professionals at top rep agencies (ICM Partners, A3 Artists Agency, Gersh, etc.) and graded based on strength of characterization, dialogue, theme, concept and engagement. Through this annual fall event, filmmakers are able to seamlessly identify the best potential writers for their special projects with specific needs.
