The Characters Behind the Characters
1. Alex Plot Twist Paterson
Ah, Alex Paterson—hardly a surprise to see this name among the finalists. Known in screenwriting circles as Plot Twist Paterson for ripping rugs from under unwary characters (and her readers), Alex’s screenplay, Yesterday’s Tomorrow, makes us wonder, Did that really just happen? Yes, Alex, it did—thanks for the narrative whiplash!
2. Jamie Samuels – The Emotional Rollercoaster Engineer
Bring your tissues and grab a therapy dog because Jamie Samuels is taking us on an emotional journey again. Hearts in Repeat explores the cyclical trials and tribulations of a romance that transcends time barriers. This screenplay will have you reaching for the rewind just to experience those highs and lows one more time.
3. River Moreno – Mind-Bender Extraordinaire
Did you understand what you just read? Well, clap it up for River Moreno whose screenplay Cracks in The Fourth Wall might have you questioning your own reality. From talking shadows to characters who know they’re in a screenplay, River’s mind-bending narrative turns your brain into a pretzel—delicious and twisted.

4. Taylor Zheng – Sci-Fi Virtuoso
Need a whiff of otherworldly dystopia with your morning coffee? Taylor Zheng delivers a piping hot cuppa with The Last Outpost, a tale set in a post-apocalyptic future where Earth’s last survivors unearth secrets that maybe? Probably? Definitely should have stayed buried. Thanks for the existential crisis, Taylor!
5. Casey O’Neill – Master of Time
Time-travel has never been subtle, and neither is Casey O’Neill in Winds of Yesterday. Jumping from era to era with a swashbuckling time-traveler who might be their own grandfather, Casey’s screenplay ties knots with time that even Stephen Hawking would struggle to untangle.
