Success Stories: APR'30 Another strong step forward for HACKED

Another strong step forward for HACKED

Hi everyone,

I’m excited to share another encouraging update for my screenplay HACKED — it has now advanced to Semi-Finalist in the 2026 Emerging Screenwriters Thriller Competition.

As a first-time screenwriter, it’s been especially rewarding to see the script continue gaining traction in thriller-specific competitions and festivals. Every step like this has helped reinforce that the story is connecting in the lane it was intended for.

Grateful for the recognition, and looking forward to seeing what comes next for HACKED.

Pat Savage

Congratulations!
