McKnight Winner

A huge congratulations to Screenwriters' Workshop member and 2nd Tuesday coordinator Karen Frank for being one of two winners of this year's McKnight Fellowship in Screenwriting.

Karen won for her feature "The Ghosts of Gray's Pond" that went through the script group process before being entered into the contest. Karen would like to thank Screenwriters' Workshop President and MCTC Professor Hafed Bouassida for teaching her to write visually. Hafed's efforts have certainly not gone to waste as Karen has also reached the quarter finals of the BlueCat Screenplay Competition with"The Ghosts of Gray's Pond" as well as a second screenplay "Grave Matters".

Karen is not the only Screenwriters' Workshop member in the quarter finals however as Saturday group members May Chaplin, with "Supposedly Empty", and Greg Foley with "Crawl" have also reached the quarter finals. We wish them all the best of luck.

Have you reached the quarter finals or better of any of the top screenwriting competitions? If so, let us know. Send us an e-mail at This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it and we'll post details of your achievement.
