To date, I have written six feature-length spec scripts and two shorts. Three of my features and one of my shorts have done very well in screenplay competition. "Michael Turci," my first screenplay, a romance / drama, was one of Ten-First Place winners in the 1999 New Century Writers Screenplay Competition. "Yardley Downs," a light supernatural, took Fourth Place in New Century's 2002 contest. And both Michael and Yardley were quarterfinalists in the 2002 Writers' Network Screenplay Competition. There had been over 2,300 entries, of which 387 were selected as quarterfinalists. "Do What You Gotta Do," a crime / mob drama, was one of 189 semifinalist, from over 2,100 entries, in the 2004 Writers' Network Screenplay Competition. And my short, "Enough's Enough," a crime / drama, was one of 18 finalist out of 80 entries in the 2006 Gimee Credit Screenplay Competition.
