Worth every penny. The script feedback they provided was unequivocally the best I've *ever* gotten from a competition. I tip my hat to whichever NY Metropolitan script reader reviewed my screenplay, because he/she flawlessly grasped the nuances of my narrative intent. That gave their compliments -- and criticisms -- a validity that was immensely useful. Having earned semifinalist honors, I'm truly grateful to the entire team at NY Metropolitan Screenwriting & Cinema. -Joseph Dionisio 

 

This contest is the very best! Highly supportive in every way. From the first phone call, telling you how much they like your work to seeing through the awards process. They help you get hooked up with a support team that allows discussing your career to go in the right direction! -Kevin Pike 

 

I submitted my script to several festivals with feedback and New York Metropolitan’s feedback was superior to the rest – by far! I eagerly incorporated the changes they suggested. I only wish I could work directly with their Analysts fulltime. To the jurists, please accept my heartfelt thank you for the Semi-Finalist award. -Byron Jacomo
