Just found out that my script for Hidden Gems didn't make it to the semifinalist level. Super bummed. Oh well, time to put that content behind me and move onto bigger and better things. If you're interested in seeing what Hidden Gems is all about, check out my site - www.hiddengemsfilm.com - I've been working on developing this for almost 3 years now and I know one day it will be realized.
Peace! Kane

thanks all. trying to stay optimistic as I work on the second novel in the series for Hidden Gems and come up with new ideas.
Hagpop, my script didn't make it to the semi-finals either! But I believe it's because it's not ready yet, and I'm knee-deep in a re-write... it's easy to feel discouraged. Instead I'd rather let it motivate me to make the adjustments that would make my script a winner! (please let that be the case soon! haha)
My script didn't make it to the semi-finals either =)))) Don't be upset. We just should try again =)))
You've got a great concept, Hagpop that will certainly find a home. Keep going!
I love that positive energy! I always say it's okay to not be okay. It's all about what you do afterward. I throw a lot of adult tantrums with a nice glass of Jameson. Then either start the rewrite or create something new. I personally believe you should keep going with this one.
