Contest News

MovieBytes Interview:
Screenwriter Billy Maddox

An interview with screenwriter Billy Maddox regarding the Worldfest - Houston Writing Competition.

Q: What's the title of the script you entered in this contest, and what's it about?

A: It's called Accidental Angel, and it's about a personal injury attorney who discovers she has the power to heal.

Q: What made you enter this particular contest? Have you entered any other contests with this script? If so, how did you do?

A: They have a category for TV scripts. Plus World-fest sounds big, like you are the best in the world, or something, if you win. But I took 3rd, so I'm not the best in the world. I'm 3rd best.

Q: Were you satisfied with the adminstration of the contest? Did they meet their deadlines? Did you receive all the awards that were promised?

A: I was satisfied I took third. Had I won, I would be extremely satisfied. They sent me a plaque, which is not as good as cash, but I'll take it because of the "World" thing.

Q: Were you given any feedback on your script? If so, did you find the feedback helpful?

A: No feedback was given, which I found very helpful.

Q: Has your success in this contest helped you market your script? Were you contacted by any agents, managers or producers?

A: I said I got a plaque.

Q: What's your background? Have you written any other screenplays or television scripts?

A: I'm retired from the CIA. If I told you more, I'd have to kill you. And I can't, because I'm retired. But, yes.

Q: Do you live in Los Angeles? If not, do you have any plans to move there?

A: My ex-wife said I lived in the bathroom. But I was just sitting there, waiting for something to happen. So I guess it's similar. Except I don't hear anyone screaming they need to take a shower.

Q: What's next? Are you working on a new script?

A: I'm always working on a new script, except when I'm working on an old one.
