Objective
The Nantucket Film Festival - unique in its dedication to supporting and promoting the art of screenwriting - launched the Showtime Tony Cox Screenplay Competition in 1996. The Festival's screenwriting focus was inspired by Nantucket's rich history as a writer's retreat and is one of the main reasons for the event's distinction as an important cultural institution.
The competition is named after the late Winston Tony Cox, former Showtime Networks Chairman and longtime Nantucket summer resident. Throughout his career, Cox was devoted to highlighting the important role of the writer in bringing high-quality original content to cable television. Tony's legacy has helped establish a prestigious reputation for the Competition whose highly vetted finalists command notice from producers and development executives nation wide. Show More

Nantucket Contest Results
Screenwriter Alfred Thomas Catalfo was one of the big winners at the Nantucket Film Festival after the unprecedented achievement of writing two of the three finalist scripts in the prestigious screenwriting competition sponsored by Showtime. A panel of prominent entertainment industry judges chose both scripts he submitted, the action-thriller AMERICAN FUGITIVE, co-written with Louis Morneau, and the comedy MALL COP, without being privy to the names of the writers. Catalfo, a trial attorney, was among the screenwriters honored at the Showtime luncheon held at Nantucket's Wauwinet Inn, where Brooklynite Chase Palmer was presented with the Tony Cox Award for Screenwriting for his film noir script BURIED ABOVE GROUND. Attending the Festival were Alan Cumming, Will Ferrell, Rosie Perez, Kristen Johnston, producer Ismail Merchant and director James Ivory. Two-time Academy Award-winning screenwriter Ruth Prawer Jhabvala was feted at the NBC Screenwriters Tribute.
