Independent Pictures (IP) is proud to announce the three award-winning screenplays for 
the 2004 Ohio Independent Screenplay Awards, IP's eighth annual script competition. This 
marks the third 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.

Winner of the Best Voice of Color Screenplay: RIVER STREET by Jacqueline Elizabeth Pardue. 
After a tragic fire decimates the family business, a husband and wife struggle to give their 
love another chance.  The 1st runner up in this category is SOMEWHERE NOT HOME by Kip 
Knott.

A favorite both for screenplay submitters and Independent Pictures, the Best Northcoast 
Screenplay Award focuses on stories that are set in Northern Ohio. Winner of the Best 
Northcoast Screenplay: AURORA RUN by Tony Davies. A mystic thriller that captures two 
Cleveland eras. The 1930's Kingsbury Run Torso  murders are happening again. Eliot 
Ness' modern counterpart has to defy history to unmask the past and present killers in the 
only case Ness never closed. The 1st runner up in this category is HALCYON DAYS   by 
Daniel P. Moriarty.

Finally, the Best Screenplay Award goes to the most overall well-written and crafted story. 
Winner of the Best Screenplay: THE MOST BIGGEST SLEEPOVER EVER by Rick Fonte. Instead 
of a summer of US History, Tommy must hide in the Mall of America while he works to 
clear his father's name and plot revenge on the dirty cops who framed him. The 1st runner 
up in this category is NOT HERE, YOU WON'T by Jack Kilpatrick.
