“Looking For Morning” Takes Top Prize at Film Festival

I have just returned from Branson, MO, where my screenplay, “Looking For Morning” was awarded the “Best Script” honor. In addition, it won the “Audience Choice – Best Pitch” award by a vote of those present.

Thursday, Friday and Saturday were full days from 8:00 a.m. until 10:00 p.m., with learning events and film screenings wall-to-wall. BIFF is a Christian, family-friendly festival.

I also was interviewed by Isaac Hernandez for his TV show “Faith On Film”.

During my time there, I learned that “Looking For Morning” had also made it through the first round of the Atlanta International Screenplay Competition. It didn’t go any further than that and the event was March 25, but it was one more recognition of the screenplay.

Now I have to look at next steps. I made many good connections and new friends. There are a great many talented people working in Christian film today.
