I was once told by a reader that I was brave for submitting a fencing script to a screenwriting contest since writers usually submit scripts dealing with popular subjects.

Well, this month that "fencing script" advanced in not one but two contests. CARUSO AND THE SWORD placed in the most prestigious screenwriting contest in the world.

CARUSO AND THE SWORD was also a finalist in an in-kind grants contest. You can read more about the contests below.

You can also read about my ongoing frustration in raising funds and what you can do to help if you want to see the "fencing script" become a movie.  

I would also appreciate it if you would take a brief 7 question survey. Let me know your interest in this film and your interest in helping get it made

We also completed a table read of the first 25 pages of the script. A table read is where actors sit around a table and read the script. It's done without directing the actors. 

Thank you,

Paula Smith
