Four talented students from across the country have won the 2020 Lockdown Screenplay Contest: Maria Hoffman from Redondo Union High School in California, Airis Aaron from Hume-Fogg Academic Magnet School in Tennessee, Ryan Sanford from Notre Dame High School in Arizona and Victoria Barone from Pacifica Christian High School in California. The contest was put on by the Dr. Barbara Seniors Harkins Foundation, a non-profit established to motivate children to pursue education beyond high school.
Hoffman cinched the first-place spot with her script entitled “Dinner for One.” For the screenplay titled “The Mirror,” Airis was awarded second place. Sanford and Barone tied for third place with their respective works, “Joshua Tree” and “The Runaways.”
“The scripts we received in this contest reflected a very talented group of teenagers,” explained Leon Anderson, one of the contest judges. “It truly was a difficult deliberation choosing the winners. These four students should be very proud of themselves and their outstanding work. They clearly have bright futures ahead of them.”
The Lockdown Screenplay Contest was open to teens around the country ages 11 to 17. The four winners chosen this year will have the opportunity to have their screenplay produced by fellow teens during the Barbara Seniors Harkins Foundation’s Fall Filmmaking Program. Pictured are Winners: Airis Aaron, Ryan Sanford, and Victoria Barone.
