Gearing up for its ninth year of supporting independent filmmakers, 
Independent Pictures announces the last round of finalists for the 
three screenplay categories.  This marks the first year for the 
organization's Best Voice of Color Award, which highlights the 
writing achievements from a screenwriter whose voice, story and 
characters speak to generally marginalized audiences.

production, and special effects workshops.
