Happy New Year folks. We’re starting off really well with our most
recent contest winner getting OPTIONED (see below). This is on top of
incredible news about 20th Century Fox scheduled to release another
project on which we worked: “THE DOLPHIN, STORY OF A DREAMER” – for

CONGRATS TO MALISSA DANIEL WHOSE FINE SCRIPT, “BULLRIDER” HAS BEEN
OPTIONED BY HOLLYWOOD PRODUCER PETER SAPHIER (FORMER UNIVERSAL AND
PARAMOUNT EXEC AND CO-PRODUCER OF “SCARFACE”) "Working with Craig and
Judy is a natural. They
understand screenwriters. They also know structure and when to gently coerce a
cut, or bluntly demand the goods if a hole in logic appears. The
approach is human and never condescending. When Judy slashes away it
has, almost a hundred percent of the time, been the best haircut I've
ever had. When Craig listens for the music and a character is off-key,
he lets me know it and won't flinch regardless how invested I am. So,
when I finally came away with a "ready" script, I entered their
competition just for the heck of it. Since winning, I've been really
surprised by the positive response from industry production companies.
And now I've been optioned. I want to succeed for so many people,
including the both of you, who are so integrally responsible for
making that possible. What a design
you've got going."
