'In The House That Elle Built' reached the Quarterfinals so far in the Outstanding Screenplays Feature Competition. I really enjoyed writing this script and I'm so grateful it has placed in this competition.

Stay Wild! Won its first award! I am so excited!

Proud day for me! I'm part of the Mod Squad now!
