BLUECAT HONORS WOMEN FINALISTS at HIGH FALLS FILM FESTIVAL

In November, Bluecat partnered with the High Falls Film Festival for the
first edition of "Screenplay Live!"

IN THE LIVES OF BROTHERS by Kelsey Simons and GEORGIE by Kathy Garcia
received staged readings at this exciting film festival, whose mission of
celebrating women behind the camera fit well with BlueCat's continuing
support of the undiscovered screenwriter. Local actors were cast in the
readings,
with BlueCat providing all hotel and travel expenses for both screenwriters.

The High Falls Film Festival has asked us to make this an annual program. We
look forward o extending this wonderful experience to all women who place as
finalists in our competition.

2004 BLUECAT WINNER RECEIVES STRONG RECEPTION

THE MAN IN THE REARVIEW MIRROR, our 2004 BlueCat Winner, has been well
received by dozens of production and management companies.

Andy Pagana, one of the writers of the top script, worked intimately with us
to get the script directly into the hands of companies such as A Band Apart,
Anonymous Content, Gold Circle Films, Castle Rock, and A Guy Walks Into a Bar.

A two-time Project Greenlight finalist, Andy is determined to direct the
winning script, and we are assisting him in getting this awesome screenplay into
the hands of talent.

THE MAN IN THE REARVIEW MIRROR recently placed in the top 100 of the 2004
