The author is particularly interested in having some Millennial  and Gen Z reviewers in attendance, as she explores the possibility of young infatuation in our digital age.

Time: 7:00 – 9:00 EST.

As usual, we’ll meet virtually.

Logline: When a young doctor discovers a camera in the snow, his competitive best friend proposes a wager. Using the photos as clues, whomever finds the owner first must do something for the other that will have life-altering consequences. 

We had a GREAT TIME last Monday taking a look at the latest version of Bobby & April’s feature THE NORTH END CODE which has garnered some very significant industry interest.  Hopefully our pitches will help them to make it even more tantalizing.  GO WRITERS
