Loved this festival, we walked away as winner of best Thriller with our movie That’s The Plan, so that made us happy as well, loved the feedback video from the audience. I hope to be apart of this festival in the near future.

Awesome festival, but what really sold me was the audience feedback videos they made. Great marketing material for the project! Would definitely recommend for indie filmmakers.

---

What an amazing festival! The feedback I received was extremely helpful, thoughtful, and detailed. I was honored that my short script, “Not My Secret to Tell” won the Thriller/Suspense Festival. It was wonderful to have the Best Scene from the screenplay performed by professional voice actors and I felt respected and engaged during the podcast interview.
Really, this film festival is one you should enter! So much more than some others that are simply laurel factories.

Watch the best scene reading: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FPQ_695FAF8

Summary: Martin’s mother passes away after a two year battle with cancer and his long lost best friend Abe finally shows up after seven years. They have to catch up and fill each other in on what they have missed out on -only to realise that they might have missed out on being more than best friends.

Get to know the writer:

What is your screenplay about?

The logline for my script is about as basic of a summary as I could muster: “A reunion at a funeral between two friends who haven’t seen each other in seven years leads to conversations regarding loss, relationships, career, and family trauma.” Beyond that barebones description, within the span of the day these two guys will spend together, they realize how deeply impactful the other one was on their lives when they were younger.

What genres does your screenplay fall under?

The screenplay straddles back and forth between drama and comedy throughout.

Why should this screenplay be made into a movie?

Man, that’s a tough question, and I’m not sure I can come up with an answer that isn’t self-congratulatory on some level – haha! But, I think one of the things I like so much about these characters is that, throughout the script, they have the chance to work through issues that I would hope are universal for so many people, regardless of how one identifies.

WATER, 58min., USA
Directed by Gary Beeber
Like most people living in Ohio I never thought much about water because there s so much of it here. All I knew was that Ohio has large aquifers, but had no idea how we get our drinking water. I thought that the aquifer was a huge body of water underground, but it s not.
