Love that this competition focuses on American stories

I am honored that my project was recognized as an Official Selection. The main reason that I submitted my screenplay to the American Story Showcase is because this competition specifically centers on stories that capture the American spirit. Gratefully, I was correct in my choice. Hopefully my story will find its way to industry professionals.
