Announcing the winner of the Open Frame Script Contest



This year's winner of the Open Frame script contest is:

THE GUEST 

by Kyle McClellan

hopefully we'll all watch THE GUEST on the screen of the Palace Theatre this coming April 20th.

Congratulations to Kyle and to all of the entrants of this year's script contest.  A HUGE thank you, too, to each of the alumni jurors.  Your time reading and responding to these scripts will be invaluable to these writers as they move into the production process.
