    I received my prize package in the mail today – very exciting! And I've already received a couple of enquiries from production companies requesting my work. Thank you so much for all your help and assistance! The competition was such a wonderful experience – the highlight of my writing career to-date.

2005 Screenwriting Contest Winner Philip Daay

“I’ll be performing my one-man show The Enforcer at Theatre 54 in Manhattan next month. For the past few years I’ve been working behind the scenes on David Letterman, Conan O’Brien and Saturday Night Live, and I’ve written, directed and performed with several sketch comedy companies. I also wrote and directed a musical about the life of Josephine Baker.”

“It’s been a busy year! I’ve just finished writing a new musical drama for a producer in South Africa, and I recently optioned one of my spec scripts to an L.A. director. The prestige of the PAGE Awards grows every year, and the reputation is well-deserved.”

“My horror movie Left in Darkness aired on the Sci-Fi Channel in November and has just been released on DVD. I also sold an option on my second horror script Despair’ul to Eduardo Sanchez, Gregg Hale and Matt Compton, three of the creators of The Blair Witch Project. I’m finishing a rewrite for them next week.”

“Through a recommendation from the contest administrators, I sold X-Mas Files to a new animation company in India and the movie is now in production. I’ve also just optioned a couple of my new specs: Kid Spaghetti was picked up by Eric Pham of Phame Factory and She’s a Dog was picked up by L.A. producers Fred Davis and Steven Ritt. So after all these years I’m actually getting my screenplays produced! I definitely attribute this success to the PAGE win.”

“I’m now a staff writer on the CBS show Waterfront about a colorful mayor in Providence (played by Joey Pants). I’m repped by Gersh. Met them early in the year, got sent on meetings in early spring, then was staffed by May. Amazing, eh?! I still can’t believe it.”

“As a result of my prize with you, Ryan Engel of Kopelson Entertainment discovered Absolution on InkTip. He loved the writing but didn’t think the story was right for them, but our meetings led to me writing a script for them based on a story idea they had in development. And I’m now repped by Benderspink Management. I’ll keep you posted as we move forward.”
