First Place

My short adaptation script SIMELI MOUNTAIN won 1st place overall in the peer-judged contest "A Grim Tale" held during the month of May, 2009, at MoviePoet.com.

Here's what some of the reviewers had to say:

"This was awesome! Wow, I loved it. You took the original and completely adapted it to your own. I love the rhyming! How incredibly clever! This was a delight to read, I will have to read it again one more time (or more) just for the sheer enjoyment of it." - Sally Meyer, Screenwriter

"I loved this - so cleverly written in rhyme. At first I thought - oh no, a narrator! Oh no, too much VO! - but there is VO and there is VO and this was exceptionally good." - Caroline Coxon, Screenwriter

"Wonderful. very quirky, I adored the poetry and the humour in it especially the last line... Excellent. Very well done. hugely entertaining." - M.J. Hermanny, Screenwriter

"Great adaptation, quirky characters, but what really tips this one to Excellent for me is the fantastic verses from the Narrator!" - Brian Wind, Screenwriter

"The adapatation was well crafted and thought of and your execution was flawless. A good comedic short that teaches a valuable lesson along with a few laughs. This script would make a great short." - Jose Batista, Screenwriter
