I'm honored and excited to share that Echo Protocol has been named Feature Script Winner at the Beyond Border International Film Festival.
This screenplay has been a true labor of love. It has grown through countless revisions, honest feedback, long nights, and a determination to keep improving both the story and myself as a writer.
Every recognition like this reminds me that perseverance matters. I'm incredibly grateful to everyone who has taken the time to read Echo Protocol, challenge it, encourage it, and help shape it into the screenplay it is today.
A heartfelt thank you to the Beyond Border International Film Festival for this recognition, and to the amazing writing community—especially everyone on Stage 32—who has supported me throughout this journey. Your advice, encouragement, and belief in the project have meant more than you know.
As an independent screenwriter, moments like this motivate me to keep writing, keep learning, and keep pushing forward. I'm excited to continue sharing Echo Protocol with managers, producers, and industry professionals, and to see where this journey leads next.
Thank you all for being part of it.
