2023 HYBRID GENRE RED LIST — JUDGES REMARKS
Remarks by Screenplay Judge:
Jonathan Zsofi (LOTR, Powerrangers, Te Makutu, Blood of Jerusalem, MasterChef).
What an insane amount of talent we have on our hands.
Reading these scripts - brought to me every emotion I thought possible. It was a truly cinematic expereience. Genre-defying masterpieces that pushed the boundaries of storytelling — and — So much innovation.
Narratives that unfolded like a symphony with profound and unpredictable storylines and character arcs. This was a true tour de force of a RED LIST and I wish to thank every writer, finalist and winner for creating their indelible mark on this edition and the films to come. Congratulations to you all.
Now I need a strong cup of tea.
