Alumna is Nicholl Semi-Finalist!!

Alumna Hannah Feller’s script War Love has been named a 2013 Nicholl Fellowship Semi-Finalist!!

The Nicholl Fellowship is the screenplay competition given by the same organization that does the Oscars (the Academy of Motion Pictures Arts and Sciences), and it’s the industry’s most prestigious, most generous, and most competitive award. Hannah workshopped War Love in this past spring’s Master Class.

Congrats Hannah!
