Anybody their screenplay accepted into a film festival? Anything come of it?

I wrote a screenplay that ended up being an award finalist at a reputable festival recently...got the laurels on my IMDB pro page.

It’s accepted into another one upcoming in June as well.

I’m still trying to learn how to make this film a reality. I know I need to network. I don’t live in LA or near any film industry local.

Cool. I live in FL. I flew out for the festival. shyt was crazy. I think I was the only person there that won an award that was just a regular 9-5 person that started writing. Other people that won had been to film school or had been writing for years, and was already in the industry in some capacity. People was handed out business cards...I ain’t have no business cards.

I’ve been networking and this shyt is all about being in the right place at the right time with the right people. The more people you know the better. Anybody wanna holler at me via PMs about it, go ahead. Never know what could come of any connection.
