Screenwriting : Contest by Ali Muhana

Contest

I'm thrilled to share that Echo Protocol has been recognized by the World International Movie Awards with both the Award of Merit for Best Narrative Feature and the Jury Award for Best Creator Globe Award.

This screenplay has been months in the making, through countless drafts, rewrites, feedback sessions, and long nights trying to make the story the best version of itself.

What started as an idea about memory and identity grew into something much more personal—a story about grief, connection, and what remains of us after everything else is stripped away.

I'm incredibly grateful for the recognition and excited to continue sharing Echo Protocol with the industry.

Thank you to everyone who has supported the project so far.

Congratulations, those are two solid awards, and it sounds like you found a personal emotional core beneath the sci-fi premise, which is exactly what separates a memorable genre script from a clever but cold one. What was the breakthrough moment in rewriting where you realized the story was really about grief rather than just memory?

Hi Ali,Mabrouk, my brother! This recognition from the World International Movie Awards is incredibly well-deserved. Seeing Echo Protocol receive the Award of Merit and the Jury Award is a testament to the rigorous structural discipline you’ve poured into this narrative system. What makes Echo Protocol transcend standard hard sci-fi is exactly what you highlighted—it strips away the cold techno-spectacle to expose a vulnerable, sub-atomic human core driven by grief and memory. True tension in this genre doesn't rely on binary invader tropes; it is calculated when an automated protocol’s protective empathy operates with such relentless, metronomic precision that comfort itself becomes the ultimate psychological labyrinth. It is a rare masterclass in narrative ownership and mechanical execution. I am immensely proud to see your sleepless nights translate into competitive industry value. Keep pushing the boundary of this universe, brother. The industry is officially paying attention, and I can’t wait to see where the next clinical layer of this journey takes you! Best regards,Volkan "Walkie" DurakçayStory Architect | Script Doctor
