THE DRAGON RIDER wins 4th place in WeScreenplay Contest

My sci-fi script THE DRAGON RIDER has won Honorable Mention (4th Place) in the WeScreenplay International Screenplay Competition.

A few comments from the judges:
“This is a terrific piece that does an excellent job of making the impossible probable. The core of the story is strong and offers a truly exciting adventure.”

“Filled with chair gripping action, The Dragon Rider is a fun yet somewhat campy fantasy romp with a cast of unique characters who manage to stand out while not upstaging our protagonist. Sigourney Weaver like heroine Jane is nicely complex, dark yet likable, helping give body to an extremely enjoyable tale.”

Here’s the full list of winners. Congrats to all.  http://blog.wescreenplay.com/the-wescreenplay-internation…/…

THE DRAGON RIDER is now a finalist in the We Screenplay International Competition.
Clearly the judges like scripts where a dragon loaded with missiles flies in formation with the USAF and headbutts an alien mothership.
I know I do.

I’m quite chuffed about that.

The request came after a Happy Writers pitch session on Stage 32.

Now it’s back to the fourth redraft of my ‘zombie movie without any zombies’….

In which the Author coaxes a screenplay out of its shell….

I’m currently coaxing a spec sci-fi feature screenplay to move from the 4th to the 5th draft. Then I’ll hopefully start on the marketing. Here’s a hint of what it’s about:
