When I complete a new script, one of the first things I do is submit it to a few screenplay contests to 1) get a sense of how it stacks up against the work of others and 2) get feedback and notes to improve the script. It takes a while for contest results to trickle in, but the season for my feature-length sci-fi screenplay INFINITY CANVAS finally arrived — and it’s a good look.

I’ve mentioned here previously that it was named a finalist at FilmQuest Fest and a semifinalist in Stage 32’s New Voices in Animation contest. In the past couple weeks, it’s also earned a spot on The Short List for Barnstorm Fest and was a semifinalist at ZedFest.

I’m stoked for the accolades, which landed INFINITY CANVAS on Coverfly’s The Red List as a Top 20 sci-fi feature of the month in January.

I’ve also mentioned previously that I originally wrote INFINITY CANVAS as a graphic novel, before adapting it into a screenplay. On that front, I finished working with the incredibly talented Bohdan Kravchenko on illustrated sample pages to submit to literary agents. A couple of the finished pages are below, and I’m completely in love with them. Here’s to hoping an agent — followed by a publisher — feels the same way.
