Second Time I Have Entered

This is the second time that I entered the Showcase. It was simple to enter and I am quite humbled and honored to be an Official Selection for both of my screenplays. Thank you so much!

A Festival Dedicated to Letting Writers Know They're on the Right Track

Thank you so much First 10 Pages Showcase festival! Receiving an Official Selection for Second Chances was beyond encouraging! I really appreciate a festival dedicated to letting screenwriters know immediately, if they're on the right track!

Thank you for taking my story seriously

I had no idea I was about to face around 600 other screenwriters, mostly Americans. Which is a good thing because I might have thought - I'm an unknown guy from france, how can I compete. And yet, my script made it to the Official Selection. Thanks to the First 10 Pages Showcase for taking my story and characters so seriously.
