My Brother’s Screenplay is a Finalist!

Excuse me while I boast:

Congrats to brother Dan! His screenplay, Tranquility Base, just became a finalist at the PAGE International Screenwriting Awards. There are 100 Finalists spread over 10 categories (his is Sci-Fi/Fantasy).

Not bad considering there were 3,411 entries. Way to go bro!

About the script:
Tranquility Base is the story of astronauts stranded in space in 2040. The action moves between the International Space Station, a Space Transport Plane, and a Moon Base Biosphere, as 15 astronauts struggle to secure the six available spots in the self-sustaining environment of the Moon Base. A combination of 2001: A Space Odyssey and Survivor, Tranquility Base examines the challenges man faces when his desire to help others conflicts with his instinct for survival.

So, who knows a good agent?

About PAGE:
The PAGE International Screenwriting Awards competition was established by an alliance of Hollywood producers, agents, and development executives. Our goal: to discover the most exciting new scripts by up-and-coming writers from across the country and around the world. And due to the success of our winning writers, the PAGE screenwriting contest is rapidly becoming one of the most important sources for new talent within the Hollywood community and worldwide.

It’s a Catch 22. While producers and agents continually complain that they can’t find good material, talented writers who live outside Los Angeles and have no “connections” within the movie industry find it virtually impossible to penetrate the barriers of the Hollywood system. Our objective is to bridge that gap – giving new screenwriters the opportunity to get their scripts into the hands of industry professionals, and also serving as a much-needed resource for Hollywood producers, agents, and studio execs who are searching for quality material.
