I didn’t allow myself any time to dwell on my blunder in entering Scriptapalooza. I didn’t present myself in the most professional light, but after trying to salvage my mistake, I told myself there was nothing more I could do other than wait for the results, and the best thing to focus on was entering Dig Down into more competitions in search of that win.
I ended up entering Dig Down into two additional contests. The first was the Utah Film Festival just two days after I had entered Scriptapalooza. Like I said, I wasn’t wasting any time dwelling on my mistake, instead focusing on the hustle of getting into more contests.
Still not done, and not satisfied that I was getting Dig Down out there enough, I entered the Chicago Script Awards a little over two weeks later.
These entries, along with Scriptapalooza, would be reviewing my latest version of Dig Down, which took into account the extensive notes and suggestions that I had received during my phone consultation, and which had earned me a Finalist placement in the Page Turner Screenplay Competition, which even before the consultation, the judge had made clear was one of the better scripts they’d read for the competition.
I felt really good with how I was placing myself for future success.
