Winning script announced!!!

user
Mr. Bassi has chosen a winning script from the top 10: "Having read all the top ten screenplays I chose 'The Invention' as the winner. All the selected screenplays offered some beautiful moments.

Though the narrative is dialogue heavy, I feel it has the potential to be leaner and allow for a visual short film. 'Th...

So we decided to make a festival where the community decides what is good and what to fund! It...
