My original screenplay Equity has been awarded a Silver Remi for Best Dramatic Screenplay at the 2008 WorldFest Houston International Film Festival.
I realized a long time ago that choosing a personal favorite from among my screenplays is like choosing which of your children you like best. Equity was the first script I seriously attempted to finish, and it had the longest and most convoluted gestation (during which time I set it aside to finish two other works).
So, even though people whose judgment I trust say I’ve written at least one better script, I freely admit that Equity has a special place in my heart.

This is not my blog. 
Congratulations!! and once again thank you for the time and effort you put into your always fascinating blog.
jeff, CONGRATULATIONS!!! “equity” holds a top spot on my all-time favorites as well. i knew it when it was a 164 page baby-spec. it has slimed down over the years and, as the remi award confirms, has matured in a damn fine screenplay. well done.
