The Stationmaster by Anna Sagalayeva
The Excuse by Alexey Zakharov

Dear Friends,

We would like to say again and again how pleased we are by participants' courage. You were not afraid to hurt the sensitive author's self-esteem by the severe contest storm. We are close to the final choice and have some secrets to uncover.
The first secret is learning. During this competition we felt the industry as it was. Sometimes the veterans proposed us to run across their screenplay before bedtime, over the contest rules. Sometimes people attacked us with hard criticism saying that we were the certain thieves.
The second secret is rather sad. We almost sank in the featureless texts with cosmic (definitely it wasn't Russian or English) grammar and fantastic formatting. But we honestly read all the texts and this force training made the real men of us, including ladies.
Our English-speaking colleagues demonstrated the usual opinion on Russian business with routine disbelief and skepticism in common. Special thanks to those who risked and supported our invitation! You showed us a desired professionalism.
After exhausting January the jury takes a break for one day. The following two weeks will be dedicated to the choice of winner.
A good news is that we found another excellent artworks and formed the second part of our shortlist! And here they are:

Tiramisu by Savvah Minaev
Atcha by Rashid Malikhov and Valery Gussev
The Soybean Rings Again by Lee Liu
The Book Of Blizzard by Egor Fedorov
The Best Friends Forever by Ruslan Paushu
Metaphysics by Rafat Samigullin
Richmond by Mark Simborg
Vanya Gadov, The Life Of Killer by Vasily Loza (based on the short story “Groom” by Iouri Mamleiev)
Nina by Maria Excer
Olkhovka Or The Kitten On The Pole by Anna Donatova
A Loner by Natalia Avanova
Human Beings by Evgeny Titkov
The Killer's Glance by Igor Camerzan
Noir by Vadim Novak and Andrey Cravtchenko
THE OBLIGATORY by Randy Lee Gross


Wishing you the creative breakthrough,
Pale and tired,
Kuzma Vostrikov
