Back in mid Sept of 2010, I decided to re-write a screenplay of mine called The Tree of Life. Fast forward a month and a half later, I had done significant re-writes on the script and re-titled it A Walk in the Park. I entered this script into the Kairos Prices for Screenwriting on Nov. 1. Just last month, I made the first cut of 45 writers to advance into the semi-finals.
Now comes word that my screenplay, A Walk in the Park, has advanced as one of the finalists of the Kairos Prizes. Click on Kairos Finalists to see the top 12 scripts that made the cut.
A mixture of uninhibited joy and enormous relief filled me upon receiving the news. I am ever grateful and, as I ended 2010 and began 2011, continually hopeful for even better things to come. Three winners will be announced sometime in the next two weeks. Until then, I’ll bask in this moment and wait patiently for the final results. Stay tuned…
Does this mean that you’ll be heading to California to see if you are in the top 3 or will you be waiting expectantly in Toronto?

Romeo, Congratulations. You have worked very hard over the last several years. I too will pray that your screenplay is selected. So proud of you and to know you.
Romeo, this is just wonderful. Praying that this will be the break through that you’ve been looking for.
So proud of you – the only Canadian to make this last cut. Can’t wait to see this in production.
