We are so thrilled that the script for 'Bury Your Gays' won the first ever @shorescripts OutHere LGBTQ+ screenwriting contest! 🎉👏🏳️‍🌈 The contest was created in response to the need for greater participation and representation of the LGBTQ+ community in screenwriting and the wider entertainment industry. According to the GLAAD TV report for 2022-2023, there was a 1.3% decrease of LGBQT+ characters on scripted prime time American TV. The goal of the contest was to champion queer characters and stories... which is our film's mission, too! A big congratulations to @coops_charlotte for her brilliant, hilarious and important script. We are so happy for the recognition, the cash prize and the mentorship! #lgbtqfilm #lgbtfilm #shorescripts #outherecontest #buryyourgays #buryyourgaysfilm
