Melissa Sheridan Wins Pitch Competition in Nashville!

Melissa Sheridan was the Winner in the features category of this year's 'The Pitch' competition at the Nashville Film Festival. Melissa is a board member of the Tennessee Screenwriting Association.

Melissa's script Let Her Go wowed the judge panel and the audience with a story of an empowered woman who takes on a child-trafficking ring. The script has placed in multiple competitions this year. Another script by Melissa called Meglacanda which she co-wrote with her son (and TSA Member) Jett is part of TSA's Script School program and a finalist in NaFF's screenplay competition this year.

Also competing in this year's pitch competition were TSA Members Amy Townsend and Andrew Heacock, who both delivered excellent pitches for their projects The Confession and Kilgore.

Congratulations to Melissa, Amy, and Andrew in the pitch competition and to current and former TSA Board Members Heidi-Marie Ferren, Elvis Wilson, Mike Bentley and Corbin Eaton who made the finalist round of the NaFF's screenplay competition this year!
