ACFF Fall 2024 Award Finalist Cert - Limping Towards Babylon compressed

Limping Towards Babylon - Yucca Valley Film Festival - selection-2024-gold

Feedback #1 from the 2024 Screencraft Comedy Competition where “Limping Towards Babylon“ was named a semi-finalist:

“The writer brings their distinct personality and imbues originality into a story focusing on the dynamics between a mismatched friend group that works really well to reveal layers for the individuals as the narrative progresses. There is an immense talent for dialogue on display, deftly conveying character personality and pathos amid witty barbs and entertainingly meandering exchanges.”

Feedback #2 from the 2024 Screencraft Comedy Competition where “Limping Towards Babylon“ was named a semi-finalist:

“One of the things that really elevates “Limping Towards Babylon” is the layering of the characterization. The group all have distinct motivations and each acts with consistent agency. These are all smart and highly educated characters and yet we also see their more lizard brain impulses that sit below the surface. The contrast between what is verbalised and the subtext beneath it lends the character dynamics a great tension that sustains reader interest across the narrative.”
