2015 Short Finalist
Silk
by Danielle Barcena
Q: Who do you go to for feedback?
A: A couple years ago I started a production company with my partner and that is who I go to when I want immediate feedback. I think that it is so important to find people or institutions that you trust to give you honest feedback. Someone who will tell you when something works or doesn't. You have to trust them to be constructive and also supportive.

2015 Short Finalist
The Last Days of the Dolores Project
by Ludwig Thelin
Q: Are there any movies that you frequently look to for inspiration?
A: There's a Swedish movie called Four Shades of Brown that I think about frequently, it mixes humour and sadness in a really good way. The Comedy does that too, so I've seen that a couple of times. I like stuff from Charlie Kaufman, Todd Solondz, and Paul Thomas Anderson. Oslo, August 31st is a film I like a lot too.

2015 Short Finalist
Wake
by Darren Tibbits
Q: Do you have a specific schedule or routine that you stick to when writing?
A: I just write whenever I can. Mornings, lunch breaks, coffee breaks, evenings, home, diners, coffee shops, airplanes, etc. And I always carry a Moleskin notebook and pen with me, so even if I can't throw the laptop open I can throw down ideas for scenes, questions about characters and their motivations, or compile snapshots of new characters from people I see around me. For me, writing is constant.
