Green Violet Script Call Winners
Everyone who submitted to this year’s inaugural Green Violet Script Call has something to be proud of. They addressed one of the most pressing topics of our day and explored the intricacies and complexities of the climate conversation in original, creative, engaging, and even, uplifting ways.
Of the several scripts written by the Tisch community that were submitted to this year’s Green Violet script call, the three scripts deemed the most compelling by our judges are:
Fire Season by Jac Renée Bruneau
“Fire Season is as much a dressing-down of human hubris as it is a warning: Mother Nature always wins. By situating relatable characters in a web of graphic (but realistic) horrors, this script succeeds at delivering powerful climate storytelling – the kind that isn’t just theoretical, but visceral.”
Midnight Court by Joshua Margolis
“Vivid and original, with a Midsummer Night’s Dream reference that never feels self-absorbed or inaccessible. The characters make sense, the writing is clear and visual, and the story is strong.”
Strangers in a City by Steph Prizhitomsky
“Subtle and poignant.”
Honorable Mention:
New York, 2098 by Kaley Mamo
“Stuck in a classroom while their school is going down, acerbic Antoinette and studious Beth are forced to come together, serving as each other’s only comfort in crisis.”
Antarcticans by Radhika Mohan
“A very compelling entry point into the discussion about the environment.”
Thanks to everyone for their important work, and congratulations to our winning writers.
