We received 1000 screenplays, books, plays, short stories and articles from the following countries: USA, Canada, United Kingdom, Ireland, Australia, New Zealand, Germany, France, Belgium, Switzerland, Russia, Italy, Greece, Nigeria, Georgia, Mexico, Japan, South Africa and Taiwan.
The overall standard was very high, hence the large number of writers we found to be eligible for the final rounds.
We decided against many competent works for a variety of reasons. Some were not suited for the cinematic medium. Others were conceptually flawed, in that they either delivered last year's movie or an idea that was just not feasible. There is nothing sadder than a brilliantly executed "bad idea", (well, unless it's a badly executed good idea). But in all honesty, the shelves of most Hollywood pros are lined with these. We hope that those who did not make will stay in touch with us. We have enjoyed our myriad of email exchanges and are working hard at making this site more relevant to your careers. Don't forget that many of our writers got their careers going by using our consulting service-Click here
Résultats De Concours No: 22
Nous avons reçu 1000 scénarios, livres, pièces de théâtre, nouvelles, et articles des pays suivants: Les Etats-Unis, le Canada, le Royaume-Uni, l'Irlande, l'Australie, la Nouvelle Zélande, l'Allemagne, la France, la Belgique, la Suisse, l'Autriche, la Russie, l'Italie, le Mexique, le Japon, l'Afrique du Sud et Taiwan.
La standard était très élevé, par conséquent le grand nombre d'auteurs que nous avons admis á la ronde finale. Si vous ne trouvez pas votre nom sur cette liste, ça ne signifie pas que vous êtes un auteur " sans talents ". Nous croyons sincèrement que tous ceux qui sacrifient, les nuits, week-ends et souvent beaucoup plus, au rêve de devenir un auteur, mérite du respect. Nous avons décidé contre beaucoup d'oeuvres compétents pour une variété de raisons. Certains ne convenaient pas á une interpretation cinématographique. D'autres étaient conceptuellement inappropriées,où nous fournissaient une idée pour un film de l'année dernière. Il n'y a rien de plus triste qu'une " mauvaise idée " brillamment exécutée, (á moins que ce soit une bonne idée mal exécutée). Mais dans toute honnêteté, les étagères de la plupart des scénaristes de Hollywood sont garnies de ces derniers. Nous espérons que ceux qui ont été éliminés, resteront dans le contact avec nous. Nous avons apprécié notre myriade d'échanges d'email et travaillons dur á rendre ce site plus approprié á vos carrières. Avec tous nos remerciements et nos meilleurs voeux á vous tous.

Der gesamte Standard war sehr hoch, darum die grosse Anzahl von Autoren, die für die abschließende Runde ausgewählt wurden.

Mit Dank und freundlichen Grüssen,
Das WriteMovies.com Team.
JACQUES HUBERT (FIRST PLACE):
MICHAEL WARNER (SECOND PLACE):
A graduate of the University of Michigan and an award winning screenwriter, Michael J. Warner has expanded into becoming an overall filmmaker with his first 16-minute HD short called “Shocked Jock” which has been an official selection of eight film festivals so far. www.shockedjock.com
Michael began his career as a staff accountant in the consolidation department at Paramount Communications. After working as a p.a. on “Sex and the City” for one season, Michael landed at Air Sea Land Productions, Inc.
Michael’s sci-fi fantasy screenplay, “Born Again,” which has been a finalist in a few screenwriting competitions just took 2nd place in the 2009 Writemovies.com writing contest. Overall, Michael has written 12 feature-film screenplays, 4 original TV dramas, 3 original sitcoms and 3 short films.
COURTNEY LICHTERMAN (THIRD PLACE):
Like the main character in her pilot, The Counter, Courtney Lichterman has worked at both a New York City cosmetics counter (where it was not uncommon for rats to hide in drawers) as well as a Los Angeles cosmetics counter (where it was not uncommon for men to purchase mascara). She has a bachelor’s degree in theater, a blog about shopping bags (bagatellemuseum.blogspot.com), and a television that gets a whole new set of channels every time it’s been unplugged for a while. An avid traveler and sometimes travel writer, she is now the PR manager for a travel website and writes regular columns for both Reuters news service and United Press International (UPI) on behalf of the site. Excerpts of her as yet unpublished book, ironically titled Waiting to Excel, have appeared on a number of literary websites. Before this contest, the only thing she had ever won was a brass lamp so heavy she almost couldn’t carry it home.
