Sure hope the water's warm. In... my... shower. (You thought I meant 'the ocean,' didn't you?)
Anyway, what an incredible location for a festival! Attended last year and had an amazing time. In case you're wondering, Block Island is located 12 miles off the coast of Rhode Island. Winners are announced June 2nd.

Thank you, Dustin. My ridiculous sense of humor is the one thing that propels me through Life! Block Island is a GREAT place for a film festival! I attended last year (nominated) and actually won the Lighthouse Award in 2021 for my supernatural thriller, THE DRESS. Thanks again for your kind words. I'll see ya 'round the room! : )

Thanks so much, Stephanie! WOW! Once in a while this whole "Big Movie Fancy Writin' ' thing actually pays off! : ) Be well, and even though you're a complete stranger, I promise to mention you in my acceptance speech. Yep! I'm THAT weird.

Agreed, Kevin! A good sense of humOUR is very healthy, but just don't overdo it. Read the room. Don't push. Say the funny line that get off the stage. Allow me to prove my point--
So, Kev, you're from Canada, huh? Hmmmmm, Canada. America's hat.

Thanks, Niki. It's my 3rd Block Island nomination in a row! I won The Lighthouse Award for my supernatural thriller, THE DRESS, in 2021.Was nominated for my true-life family drama, LIFE OF BRADLEY, in 2022, and now I'm set to return to the island with my psychological thriller, "dream HOLLYWOOD," in 2023!
Would love to win again. It's always nice to have a matching set.

Thank you, Sam. I love Block Island. In a perfect world, it would be called BROCK Island, but if there's ONE THING all this "Big Fancy Movie Writin' ' has taught me, it's this--
You can't have everything.
QUICK FADE TO BLACK. CUE MUSIC ("Mmmmm Bop" by Hanson). ROLL CREDITS.

@Amanda Toney Thanks so much, Amanda! I can just see it now. They announce my name. The audience applauds, the clapping dies down, and is replaced by confused murmurs when no one approaches the podium.
PRESENTER
Is Bill here?
SOME GUY IN AUDIENCE
I saw him down at the beach. He was wearing his lime-green Speedos, black tank top, and unlaced Timberland boots with no socks. Working his cigarette and draining his Corona while bad mouthing the country. Want me to go get him?
PRESENTER
Wait. Did you say lime-green Speedos?
SOME GUY IN AUDIENCE
Yeah. And they were like, REALLY small. Like, like, "You could get arrested" small! So? Should I go get him?
PRESENTER
No. Leave him there. Hope he gets arrested. We could use the publicity.
