Dear Ms. McDaniel,

Congratulations! You have advanced into the Quarterfinal round of the 2007 Nicholl Fellowships in Screenwriting. In so doing, yours is one of only 254 entries to survive the First Round.

With 5,050 scripts entered, the initial round was extremely competitive. To let you know something about the selection process, Kingdom of Daylight was evaluated by three judges drawn from a diverse group of local film professionals. After scores were tallied, the highest scoring scripts advanced to the Quarterfinals.

During the Quarterfinal Round, your script will be read by two judges. As was the case in the First Round, these judges will read the scripts without seeing application forms; they will know nothing about you other than what is on your script's pages. We expect that about half of the Quarterfinal scripts will advance to the Semifinal Round.

For a list that will be forwarded to agents, development executives, managers, and producers who request it, we shall use the contact information that you have given us. Check the information below to make ertain that it is as you want it. If this information is incorrect -- or if earnings have recently made you ineligible -- please let us know as soon as possible via email to nicholl@oscars.org or fax to 310-247-3794. Over 200 copies of the list were distributed last year.

Good luck through the remainder of the competition.

Sincerely,

Greg Beal
