2014 Screenplay Winners:

  • Be Normal — Lyvia A. Martinez - Orange, CA

  • Whatever Happened to Barbara Brown — Lutfu Emre Cicek - Istanbul, Turkey
    “Whatever Happened to Barbara Brown” depicts the past and present ordeals of a young housewife in 1950s Baltimore as she unravels under heavy scrutiny following the disappearance of her husband and his mistress.

  • Rattle the Cage — Lane Skye & Ruckus Skye - Atlanta, GA
    Despite his best intentions, Tucker Lawson finds himself locked in a holding cell in the sleepy town of Avery, GA with no I.D. and a few bruises from last night’s mistakes. But being unable to make bail is the least of his problems when a stranger disguised as a deputy kills the Sheriff in cold blood. With nowhere to run, Tucker is forced to play along with the madman’s twisted game or risk setting off a bloody chain of events that will forever scar this once peaceful town.
