My thanks for creating the Capital Fund Screenplay Competition and giving us writers a way to get our work directly into the hands of those who love movies and also have the means to fund them. I feel this is one of the best run and most significant of any of the newer screenwriting competitions that have come along in recent years.

My phone conference with the film financier was amazing—some of the most valuable time I’ve ever spent as a screenwriter. Not only did I learn a lot about his particular film fund and how they operate, but I also was very encouraged by the fact that not just he, but all the other fund managers that take part in this contest would be looking over my script and could contact me about it further if they wished any time in the weeks and months going forward. Having my prize-winning material accessible like this to studio-level film fund and private equity managers who hold the most important key to getting any film actually made—the financing of it—is a “prize” of invaluable proportions and totally unique to the Capital Fund Screenplay Competition. Thanks so much, and I hope to participate much more in coming years.
Best…

Thanks CFSC – the phone call was superb. It was so informative to hear what a film investor thinks about my work because it is not something we often get to hear and that he’d been interested in reading more of my work really gave me a boost of confidence and confirmed that I am on the right path, as difficult as it is sometimes.

First, I want to thank you and everyone involved with the Capital Fund Screenplay Competition. It’s turning into a wonderful opportunity and I hope something comes out of this that’ll make your people feel like I was a good choice. I would also ask you to pass my thanks on to the financier with whom I had a terrific telephone exchange today. Not only a sharp guy, but supportive, constructive, and immensely understanding.
Again, my thanks to all.
Respectfully,

I found the investor extremely thorough and invaluable when it came to advice on our next steps to push our film to production. His knowledge base was reassuring and his step by step approach refreshing.

On behalf of myself and my co-writers, we want to thank you for the great opportunity to submit our script Trucker Chix to the contest and be read. To win in the Top Ten Finalists was beyond our hopes and then given the opportunity to speak with a Financial Professional was invaluable. He gave us such great enthusiastic feedback on our comedic story and told us how to present the script to get talent attached to it. His advice is invaluable and very generous. Your contest has been a life changing experience and look forward to submitting more material this year.
Thank you for giving Writers a great forum to present their work.

The financier was just great and he was very kind to me being disabled from the Vietnam war with a hearing problem. He allowed me to express to him everything about my script Jingletown, and hear about its potential at the box office, thank you to him for his time and understanding.

Thank you very much. The executive was very approachable, easy to speak with and very interested in my script and what I had to say as a writer. I learned what his company was looking for, the interests of his investors and the direction they were looking to take. Very professional all around – thank you.
