Annual Screenplay Fete to Announce Winners at Yorkton Film Festival
The Canadian Short Screenplay Competition (CSSC) - the most prestigious short film script contest in Canada - is thrilled to announce a new partnership with the Yorkton Film Festival (YFF).
REGINA, SK, CANADA, March 07, 2010 /Canada PR News/ -- On Saturday May 29, 2010, David Cormican, Producer and CSSC Founder, will present the writing competition's top prize, the Golden Cinema Award to the writer of the best short script for 2009. "I'm just stoked", says Cormican. "To be able to bring writers to the forefront of such a long-standing film festival is a real treat. It is an incredible opportunity for these scribes to be celebrated amongst an audience of industry professionals, as well as become part of a Canadian film tradition steeped in excellence".
The CSSC's thirteen lucky finalists will be encouraged to attend the festival, which runs May 27-30 2010 and to partake in the many films, workshops, panels networking opportunities, and Golden Sheaf Awards Gala.
Joanne McDonald, a director of the board for YFF, says "We are very pleased to welcome The Canadian Short Screenplay Competition to the Festival. Our focus is on emerging filmmakers and the CSSC is a natural fit into the YFF"
One writer will walk away with top honours: $1,000 cash prize sponsored by Year of the Skunk Productions, a production deal to have their screenplay made into a short film (to be screened at next year's YFF), and their very own Golden Cinema trophy commemorating their achievement in screenwriting.
