www.bigbearlakefilmfestival.com/page.php?8 The Big Bear Lake International Screenwriting Competition stresses providing opportunities for winning screenwriters to make key film industry contacts and to have their script read by our jury panel of Hollywood professionals. With contacts made through our competition, one of our winners, Iris Yamashita, recently worked directly with Paul Haggis and Clint Eastwood to write the Academy Award nominated film, Letters From Iwo Jima, the companion movie of Flags of Our Fathers. Another winner signed with a manager and sold the script she entered in the competition. Another signed with an agent and sold a screenplay not entered based on the attention gained by the one entered. And other winners have signed with agents or managers or gotten writing contracts and made valuable contacts they are still utilizing.
