💚 Award Winner: Best Student Screenplay

Riya Agarwal @riya.agarwal124 delivers a bold and emotionally layered story in If You Show Me Yours I’ll Show You Mine, a coming-of-age screenplay that explores innocence, curiosity, family tension, and the fragile boundary between childhood and adulthood.
Set within a South Asian immigrant family in the United States, the screenplay follows thirteen-year-old Niki, whose attempt to secretly watch an R-rated movie spirals into unexpected consequences that challenge her understanding of trust, freedom, and maturity.
Blending humor, emotional vulnerability, and sharp social observation, the story captures the confusion of adolescence and the complexities of growing up between protection and independence. Through intimate family dynamics and a deeply personal perspective, Riya Agarwal creates a sensitive and powerful narrative that resonates long after the final page. ✨🎬 by @cambridge_script_festival

💚 Award Winner — Best Horror Screenplay

6 Pencils by Greyson Lemons is a chilling psychological horror screenplay about six childhood friends forced to confront the terrifying consequences of an innocent game they played years ago.

As buried memories resurface after their reunion, old friendships unravel beneath the weight of fear, guilt, and long-hidden secrets. Blending emotional depth with growing supernatural tension, the screenplay explores trauma, identity, and the haunting power of the past.

Through sharp character work and atmospheric suspense, Greyson Lemons delivers a horror story that is both deeply human and genuinely unsettling.

In modern screenwriting, less is becoming more 🎬

Minimalism is not about simplicity, but precision — where silence, pauses, and subtext carry more weight than dialogue.

In this post we explore why storytelling is shifting away from explanation and back to interpretation.

👉 Is silence more powerful than dialogue?
👉 Can a story feel deeper when less is said?

Presenting a film is also about reaching the end of a very long journey, so you also arrive tired, but you really feel like arriving. The desire to finally show the film is very strong, and alongside that is the fear of revealing a film. Alice Rohrwacher

💚 Award Winner: First Time Screenwriter Category

✨ GILGAMESH – A Mythic Story of Power, Loss & Humanity

Patsy Callaghan brings a powerful and thoughtful adaptation of the ancient epic Gilgamesh, reimagining one of the world’s oldest stories for a modern audience.

The screenplay follows Gilgamesh, the legendary king of Uruk—part human, part god—who seeks glory, strength, and immortality. His journey takes a devastating turn after the death of his closest companion, Enkidu, forcing him to confront grief, mortality, and the limits of power.

What begins as a mythic pursuit of greatness becomes a deeply emotional exploration of love, loss, and what it truly means to be human. Through rich storytelling and historical depth, GILGAMESH connects ancient civilization with timeless human struggles that still resonate today.

A bold, emotional, and award-winning debut that transforms one of history’s greatest epics into a powerful cinematic vision. 🌿 by @cambridge_script_festival

For me, filmmaking is not about making statements but about exposing human behavior so people are eager enough to start thinking on their own and make their own assumptions. Yorgos Lanthimos
