FilmLab Finalists Chosen

Congratulations to all who submitted their short scripts into the 2014 Willamette Writers FiLMLaB Competition! Our first round judges had their work cut out for them! But in the end, they were able to narrow it down to these top five finalists (in alphabetical order):

BEK by Elisa Graybill
MIDNIGHT KISS by Xavier Chavez
SIX MONTHS OF WONDER WOMAN by Susan Fleming
TIME PIECE by Michael Meyers
UNWELCOME GUESTS by Jon Dragt

Finalists each receive a one day pass to the conference, production notes and a phone consultation by Ampersand Productions.

Our LA judges are already at work reading and ranking the winning scripts; stay tuned when we’ll announce in early April the GRAND PRIZE WINNER!
