The Screenplay Competition is best summed up by our Gold Medal Winner 2012 from Boise Idaho Mr Larry Fernsworth.

" This is my first attempt at a screenplay. After attending a viewing of MANHATTAN SHORT 2011, I was inspired to try my hand at it just for fun. Today, I am having one hell of a lot of fun. The story was spun from experiences as a San Jose CA police officer, a lucky day at the Wonderland dog track and my retirement life in Second Amendment friendly Idaho. As a fan of the film noire genre I devised a tale that starts with the protagonist in a dilemna tehn flashes back to an explanation how he got there and its' resolution.

May this wonderful opportunity for screenwriters and film makewrs continue to expand and prosper. Thank you MANHATTAN SHORT and thank you with so much love to my editor and daughter Kerri Feazell"
