Cours Écrire ton Court! (Run, write your short!)
November 5th, 2006 by Erin
Birthday Girl (it’s a working title) was selected as one of seven finalists for a competition SODEC organized called Cours Écrire ton Court! The whole experience was amazing, and I’m not just saying that because I won, but because every one who participated was incredibly talented and so encouraging towards every one else that the atmosphere felt hardly competitive. I was assigned a remarkable script consultant - Jacob Potashnik - to work with. I honestly believe that if it were not for him I would not have taken home the grand prize on the evening of October 21st. It is a surreal memory, but a great one nonetheless.
Three other writers took home prizes that night:
Best French script went to Marc-André Girard for Mauser
CBC/WGC prize went to Tom Fennario for Washed in Blue
Coup de Coeur du Public Télé Quebec went to Mireille Paris for Prière de ne pas Prier
