2016 Nicholl Fellowships In Screenwriting Winners!

Today the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Science announced six winners of the 2016 Nicholl Fellowships in Screenwriting. They are:

Michele Atkins, “Talking About the Sky”
Spencer Harvey and Lloyd Harvey, “Photo Booth”
Geeta Malik, “Dinner with Friends”
Elizabeth Oyebode, “Tween the Ropes”
Justin Piasecki, “Death of an Ortolan”

The Nicholl is the most prestigious of all screenplay competitions and the lives of these six writers will change because of it.

I have interviewed every Nicholl winner for the last four years and will reach out to these writers as well.

Congratulations, Elizabeth, Geeta, Justin, Lloyd, Michele, and Spencer.

NOTE: I worked with Elizabeth as her mentor in the 2015 Black List Screenwriters Lab in San Francisco. Proud of her deserved success!
