Exciting Update: The Naughty List Selected as a Quarterfinalist in the Outstanding Screenplays Shorts Competition!

I’m thrilled to share some fantastic news! My script The Naughty List has been selected as a quarterfinalist in the Outstanding Screenplays Shorts Competition. 🎉

This recognition is especially meaningful to me, as The Naughty List is a project that holds a special place in my heart. For those unfamiliar with it, the story takes a fresh, slightly mischievous look at the holiday season by focusing on Santa Claus as he navigates grief over the loss of his longtime friend, Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer. The script blends dark comedy with heartfelt moments, and I’m grateful it’s resonating with both audiences and judges.

Being selected by the Outstanding Screenplays Shorts Competition is a major milestone. The competition is known for attracting incredible talent, and it’s an honor to see The Naughty List stand out in such a competitive field. This is the eleventh time the script has been recognized by a top-tier international competition, and each selection continues to remind me why I’m passionate about storytelling.

As I continue to develop my work, this recognition gives me renewed energy and motivation. I’m excited to see where The Naughty List goes from here, whether it’s taking the next step in the competition or finding its way to new readers.

A huge thank you to the Outstanding Screenplays team for this opportunity, and to everyone who has supported me along the way.

Stay tuned for more updates, and I look forward to sharing what’s next for The Naughty List and future projects!
