REVISED "A WOUND IN TIME" SCREENPLAY ENTERS GOTHAM SCREEN FESTIVAL
Revised screenplay adaption of "A Wound In Time" will be entered into the Gotham Screen Film Fesitval. This is a REAL New York festival that I wanted to enter last year but missed the deadline. The screenplay adaptation was a semifinalist and a quarterfinalist in 2 of the 3 festivals it was entered into last year. I was recently notified by one of the festivals, as a quarterfinalist, that semifinalists will be announced next week. I totally thought they had chosen their winners by now and was surprised. But I am looking forward to the Gotham with my new revisions of adding more visuals. Stay tuned...
