Winners of the screenplay competition are: Michael Moon for "The Love of a Son", a script based on the true story of a mother and son trapped in the great Oil Creek flood and fire of 1892; and Amy Dittman for "A Warning to Young Ladies", a monologue by a young woman who left her wealthy family to marry and moved to a life of hardship in the oil fields. The films will be produced in October, and second auditions will be held in the near future. Interested actors should call 814-677-1260.
