March 11, 2010 - From the Winner of Best Original Screenplay at the 2008 Arizona Film & Television Festival for his screenplay Screwed, Scott Walker's new dramatic feature screenplay, Through Maria's Eyes, was just named an "Official Selection" at the 2010 Beverly Hills Film Festival. The Festival is being held April 14-18, 2010.

Through Maria's Eyes is the true story of Gizella, a poor young Jewish woman, who takes on the identity of Maria, a Christian, to save her family and herself from Nazi persecution in 1944 Hungary, with only hope and determination to pull her through.

By 1944, Hitler's Third Reich Empire was crumbling; however, in Hungary the nightmare was just beginning. That spring, SS troops entered the capital city of Budapest and began deportations to the concentration camps.  Gizella, a poor young Jewish woman, realizes that the only way to evade the Nazis is to take on the identity of MARIA, a Hungarian Christian. She hides in plain sight of those whose mission is to bring about the Final Solution to the Jewish Question. Her family's lives, as well as her own, depend on the callous exterior that Maria must maintain in the midst of unimaginable atrocities. Only hope and determination illuminate her way during her struggle for survival. Will Maria triumph in the face of religious segregation, executions, and chaos or will she be caught and face certain death at the hands of the Nazis?
