Here's a little more about my screenplay from an earlier Blog entry. Faking It - By Scott Taylor UPDATE: - OCTOBER 14 Faking it didn't win - it went to Tigress by Jane Hampson. Mine was a very commercial rom-com set in the outback, so I was very happy it was noticed like that by the Guild. It now goes into their Pathways program designed to get writers and producers together.  Of course congratulations to the winner and I simply feel very happy and honoured to be short listed and also FUCK!
