In the Spotlight this week is the 4th Annual HOBOKEN INTERNATIONAL FILM FESTIVAL (HIFF), taking place in New Jersey's artistic center. HIFF events are held in the area's most scenic locations, with waterfront views of the majestic New York City skyline.
A jury comprised of Academy and Emmy Award winners will judge all official film, pilot, and screenplay selections. And HIFF's star-studded events, Oscar-inspired galas, and celebrations attract plenty of media attention, helping filmmakers reach further to promote their films. This year's Festival will be honoring Academy Award winner Cloris Leachman with the 2009 HIFF Lifetime Achievement Award; previous recipients include Billy Dee Williams and Charles Durning.
The Festival will award cash prizes up to $1000 USD in multiple categories of entry, honoring the Festival's best films, filmmakers, actors, and unproduced screenplays. What's more, the 2009 Grand Prize for the Best Feature Film will be a distribution deal offer from Lightyear Entertainment.

Comment by Wilson "I GOT SCRIPTS" Boggess on September 4, 2009 at 11:48am - I've written 4 screenplays and would love to get them looked at.

Comment by Will Glenn on January 19, 2009 at 3:57pm - Thanks Ernest. Have you sold any of your screenplays?

Comment by Ernest Johnson on January 17, 2009 at 5:35am
- Each and every screenplay is negotiable. There are a lot of things to look at. If a producer has only half a million dollars to produce a particular movie, no matter what genre, and another production company has, let's say, three million to play with, for the same screenplay, who do you think will offer more?

- I have a question. How much does a screenply usually sell for? Is there a set price for a certain type of movie or are they all negotiable?

Hello All,
I am happy to be a member of this group. I am a published Author looking to take the next step into Screenwriting.

- I am not only an author, but I'm a screenwriter as well. I presently have about 12 feature film screenplays and 7 shorts. All my screenplays were written about my books. Who, better than the author, knows each and every character from a book. I look forward to being a part of this group.
