The Chicago Screenwriters Network is proud to announce our 2009 Contest Semi-Finalists!
Our goal is to get Midwest voices heard by Hollywood. And from many of
the screenplays we read, those voices deserve to be heard.
Because of the overall quality, some difficult choices had to be made. So as we congratulate our Semi-Finalists, we also want to thank everyone who entered for giving us the opportunity to read your writing.
So, here they are! (Scripts are in alphabetical order according to title.)
