The “Finding Emmaus” TV pilot screenplay was nominated for two awards in one film festival: the Author Script Awards. The nominations were “Best TV Pilot” and “Best Female Screenwriter.” Thank you, Author Script Awards for that amazing honor! The status of the “Finding Emmaus” TV pilot script at the “Her Vision Film Festival” was upgraded to “Finalist.” What a gift: yet one more completely objective affirmation that “Finding Emmaus” is worthy of production!!
“Finding Emmaus” has garnered another win:
“BEST SHORT SCREENPLAY” from the New York Arthouse Film Festival. This brings its collection of laurels up to that Baker’s Dozen I’ve been hoping for—YES!!!! So yes, once again, the banner has been updated. A DOZEN!!! An even dozen!!! My "baby" is in France!
Oh --- God has blessed me SO many time, I cannot even begin to say how grateful I am. And so - yes - it's time for yet one more banner (scroll down just below the Cannes laurel). Elevenses - how exciting! Just two more.
The eleventh film festival laurel for “Finding Emmaus.” Still moving forward toward that Baker's Dozen. Elevenses! The eleventh film festival laurel for “Finding Emmaus”
The New York Arthouse Film Festival is an online international fest which is dedicated to all genres of screenwriting and filmmaking. It’s true: I said I wanted a baker’s dozen—but I was only half serious! Then “Finding Emmaus” was selected by Cinemafest, bringing the total number of laurels to ten, and suddenly it seemed possible. Now it looks as though I may just get it. That’s the reason for this updated banner: I had to add yet one more festival laurel. I am so awed and so grateful for the amazing gifts God keeps giving me!
The reason for another new home page banner is because "Finding Emmaus" is an Official Selection for yet another film festival. Says screenwriter Pamela Glasner, "I am so awed by the amazing gifts God keeps giving me!"
The Georgia Shorts Film Festival in Atlanta, GA, has upgraded the TV pilot screenplay, “Finding Emmaus,” from “Official Selection” to “NOMINEE.” “This is so exciting,” commented screenwriter Pamela S.K. Glasner. “We’re hoping all this good news and all these positive affirmations will attract the attention of some producers—maybe even investors.”
RECOGNITION IN NEW YORK CITY!!
“Finding Emmaus” just received Quarter-Finalist status in the Big Apple Film Festival and Screenplay Competition: “Women Screenwriters – Series/Episodic Pilot Script.” “WOW,” said Pamela, “NEW YORK! This is a big deal for me -- the Big Apple is MY home city!” No longer just an official selection, finalist or nominee, “Finding Emmaus” is officially a winner!
Said Pamela S. K. Glasner, “Last night I had the profound honor of accepting that coveted award at the Massachusetts Independent Film Festival for my TV pilot screenplay, “Finding Emmaus.” My sincerest thanks to Skip Shea, the festival director, and all those who voted for my project. I am deeply moved and grateful.” Pamela S. K. Glasner’s podcast discussion (Fighting for Fairness) with

She and Pamela Glasner had a fascinating discussion about society, human rights and fairness and how they influenced the creation of "Finding Emmaus." A sixth festival laurel added to the lineup. Which means that of the six festivals that have announced their official selections, “Finding Emmaus” has been chosen for ALL SIX!
IT’S HAPPENED AGAIN!
Festival number 6, the Santa Barbara International Diverse Writers Screenplay Awards Festival, has selected my screenplay, “Finding Emmaus,” as a semi-finalist!

Bought myself a gift yesterday: a new lamp for a side table. I love its soft and soothing light. Very conducive to imagining new chapters for Lodestarre book #2 or additional episodes of the TV series.
