an all expenses-paid, four day retreat during which all retreat attendees get three hour and a half meetings with industry professionals and the competition winner gets a year-long-mentorship with two industry professionals. \u00a0Though I didn&#8217;t win that year, I was invited to the retreat, an experience that was worth its weight in gold. \u00a0I got great notes and met industry professionals who I&#8217;m still in contact with today. \u00a0Most importantly, the notes I received helped me develop my screenplay into a viable project that eventually became a Lifetime movie of the week \u2013 my first produced credit! \u00a0I loved that retreat so much that I went to a second and eventually got involved in CineStory as a staffer. \u00a0I&#8217;m now the CineStory Board Vice President. \u00a0I encourage all writers, from novices who&#8217;ve just written their first scripts, to screenwriters who may have a produced credit or two under their belts, to enter the competition. \u00a0You won&#8217;t regret it.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>#BeFabFriday &#8211;
