Back in late July, I received notification that a feature I wrote, Double Dutch, advanced to the Quarterfinal round in the Academy’s Nicholl Fellowships in Screenwriting.
Through a truly odd series of events, it landed on the desk of a brilliant A-list director, and to our delight, she loved it. She took it to a producer friend of hers, and he and his company loved it as well!
I’m not counting my chickens here—many projects get stalled at this stage—but it’s SO exciting to know that others are similarly moved by this story of bravery, empowerment, and humanity.
And that meeting, in which someone is truly excited about a shared vision for a movie? Yeah, that’s why we do this.
