The script excerpt that begins INT CAR LATE AFTERNOON is from Nikole Beckwiths Stockholm, Pennsylvania. This draft of the screenplay earned her an Academy Nicholl Fellowship, brought her to the attention of Hollywood reps, was passed around the production/development community and resulted in an appearance on the 2012 Black List. Later, Nikole and her script were selected for the June 2013 Sundance Directing Lab. This was Nikoles first screenplay. The script excerpt that begins INT. BEDROOM - DAY is from Mike Richs Finding Forrester. This 1998 draft earned Mike an Academy Nicholl Fellowship, garnered an agent at UTA, attracted producer Laurence Mark and resulted in a sale to Sony/Columbia. The film made from Mikes script was released in 2000. While we advocate proper formatting (for instance, see our format guide linked at oscars.org/awards/nicholl/resources.html), claims that scripts by new writers are automatically tossed by readers for calling shots or including odd formatting are simply not true.
