Congratulations to William Finlay of Toronto, Ontario,
for his winning Feature-Length Script
Spur of the
Moment. A comedy-thriller, Spur of the
Moment is about a man who undergoes a
surprising and remarkable transformation after he
uncharacteristically decks a belligerent stranger -
only to learn the man he
punched is a notorious underworld figure who’s
looking to exact revenge.
But winning is nothing
new to Finlay, whose family script 10 Cent
Solution won the Gold Prize at the 2004 PAGE
International Screenwriting Awards.
Now,

and Roll High School and the remake of
Porky’s.
