The Selling Your Screenplay Podcast: An Interview With Screenwriter Gordy Hoffman

In this episode of the Selling Your Screenplay Podcast I interview Gordy Hoffman, screenwriter and founder of the BlueCat Screenplay Competition. His screenplay Love Liza was produced in 2001 and won the Waldo Salt Screenwriting Award at Sundance in 2002. In the interview Gordy talks about the impact that winning this prestigious award had on his career. We also talk about his transition to being a director, some specifics about how the BlueCat works, and some tips for screenwriters.
