From Cascade Arts and Entertainment – Local Writers Win Third Award for Screenplay “Boarders”

THREE LOCAL WRITERS WIN THEIR THIRD AWARD OF THE YEAR FROM THE OREGON FILM AWARDS FOR THEIR SCREENPLAY, “BOARDERS.” Denice Hughes Lewis, Skip Clark and Suzan Noyes add a silver win to their first place trophy from the Santa Catalina Film Festival and an honorable mention at the Mexican Film Festival.

In a press release from the Oregon Film Awards, representatives said, “Our selection committee reviewed several hundred projects originating from many countries around the world, with your select group of films and screenplays emerging as the very finest. Congratulations on your outstanding work!”

“Boarders” is a comedy about family relationships. To Carmen, a stressed newlywed, paradise never looked so bad. She inherits an ancestral land grant after losing her job and home in Sacramento. Arriving in Santa Catalina with her reluctant husband and spoiled stepdaughter, she wonders about her sanity when she hears two ghosts – her clumsy relative and his thieving parrot. Coping with her unbelieving family is only the beginning.

A smarmy con man after buried gold, his jailbird offspring and ghost hunters further hound wired-up Carmen. Her marriage crumbles along with hopes of a home when she stumbles upon one last secret: illegal Mexican children squatting upstairs. Carmen needs to change to have a shot at paradise. Can she blend the living and dearly-departed into the real family she needs?
