Success Stories: JUL'21 Press release

Jamie Sutliff

Press release

3 projects won First Place Cannes and Tribeca will appear in the California Foreign Press Awards. I'm still working on the poster. The Ghost and the Gold Louis won Stage 32 semi-finals and I added it to the cover. The Ghost won 4 categories including a Cannes Emmy, the first Emmy awarded to an American screenwriter.

Congratulations, Jamie Sutliff!

Debbie Elicksen

That's amazing Jamie Sutliff. Well done!

Jamie Sutliff

Thank you all. I need to do a better job on the poster it's cluttered. The awards came about 2 weeks ago and more arrive every day. Cannes Screenwriter of the Year listed my name and projects with many Indie festivals in the network. I've won a Golden Globe Award and an Indie Oscar. Last week I received feedback (paid) for The Ghost and the reader told me to remove all the laurels from the title page as he feels it's a distraction. I wonder if he considers the cost of making it to 3 Cannes First Place wins, 2 Tribeca 1st Place laurels and 37 Indie wins. I've paid a few thousand for feedback on 7 projects and spent months polishing and rewriting. There's the cliché' "

So you've never won the London Film Awards, is that a reason to quit writing? I won the London Film Awards and removed the laurel from the title page of the project on advice from feedback. I put the laurel back yesterday and all laurels will remain on the title pages. Any comments on this are welcome. What would you do?

This is a partial list

Hi, Jamie Sutliff. I don't think laurels need to be on the title page. I think the script should speak for itself, and the laurels do feel like a distraction.

Jamie Sutliff

Thank you for the comment, Maurice. I will consider it.

Curt Samlaska

Congratulations Jamie Sutliff! Amazing awards...I hope you land it. I have received negative feedback for anything but the basic information on the title page of my screenplays also. I agree with Maurice. I use my laurels for the thumbnail of my short film. I believe that is more standard, almost everybody does that for short films.

Maurice Vaughan

You're welcome, Jamie Sutliff.
