Screenplay: CAMP COBOL - Done!
I thought it auspicious that yesterday, as I was finishing revisions on a screenplay, I learned about the Final Draft Big Break Screenwriting Contest and the deadline was Monday. So I made sure that I finished it, registered it with the WGA West and submitted it to the contest! The final winners won't be announced until December, but I'll start pitching this, and working on the novelization. The story is a warm, small-stakes dramady, like "A Man Called Otto," but about the experiences of a retired COBOL programmer called back to the business for a time-sensitive government conversion effort (and there's no suicide attempts). If anyone has connections with Hollywood agents or production companies, let me know!
