Dear Martin,

In the Spotlight this week are the 14th Annual FADE IN AWARDS (FADEIN), delivering accolades, industry recognition, and career connections to promising screenwriters and writer-directors in Beverly Hills, California.

FADEIN was established to help talented emerging artists worldwide gain recognition within the Hollywood community in order to begin their careers as working filmmakers. Since their debut in 1996, the Awards have garnered an impressive track record, having discovered hundreds of writers and filmmakers who have gone on to make top-ten box-office hits including WEDDING CRASHERS, TAKING LIVES, BLADES OF GLORY, ADAM, PERFECT STRANGER, and CLAY PIGEONS.

The Grand Prize Winner receives a brand new laptop computer and an all-expenses-paid trip to Hollywood to take meetings with agents and managers, while category winners take home cash prizes and script analysis by WGA writers. What's more, FADEIN offers its winners an unprecedented support network, working with its writers over the course of a year to bring their scripts up to professional standards before making key industry introductions. Hollywood's top agents, managers, and producers have become accustomed to requesting FADEIN's selected scripts and films. http://www.fadeinawards.com
