🏆 BLOCKBUSTED — TRIPLE AWARD WINNER
• Best Screenplay/Script • Best Experimental Film • Best Webseries
And the timing of the Experimental Film award is almost suspicious.
Yesterday, Mohammad Asakere asked me which award would mean the most if I could keep only one.
My answer was Experimental Film.
I’ve always been the person who wants to break things apart just to see what they’re made of—and then figure out whether they can be put back together differently.
That philosophy is pretty much how Pretty Little Lucy was written.
Reality breaks apart. Fantasy leaks into it. Digital conversations become emotional spaces. A fictional character becomes a coping mechanism. And eventually even David doesn’t completely know where the boundary is anymore.
Then, approximately one day after publicly explaining why the experimental recognition means so much to me…
BLOCKBUSTED gives it Best Experimental Film. 😂
Oh—and Best Screenplay/Script.
And Best Webseries.
Because apparently Lucy doesn’t believe in moderation.
Even more absurd:
September 1 — double win. September 2 — triple win. September 3 — another screenplay win. September 4 — triple win.
Nine awards. Four festivals. Four days.
Meanwhile, somewhere in the metaphysical universe, the Emerald Elephant is sitting behind a tiny desk wearing sunglasses, refreshing FilmFreeway and saying:
“You’re welcome.” 🐘😎
I’m still not superstitious.
But I have also made the executive decision that nobody touches the elephant.
😂😂😂
Thank you to BLOCKBUSTED for recognizing not only the screenplay, but the weird little experimental machine underneath it.
Honest storytelling takes risks—not only with the story, but with yourself.
Sometimes you break the thing apart.
Sometimes you discover something inside worth keeping.
And occasionally…
you win three awards for breaking it. 🏆🐘😂
