Chad Hartigan "We are thrilled to honor an intimate original script that had us all utterly charmed and smiling like goons by placing the protagonist in an alien landscape and watching him flounder. This writer shown the light the experience of the outsider and the human connection that sustain us using the ancient art of humor."
Tim Talbott "A screenplay that brings to life a true story that is as powerful and unfortunately relevant even almost moreso today than it was 44 years ago."
Mark Heyman, Craig Johnson For a screenplay that skillfully writes the line between heartbreaking drama and side-splitting humor in a story that keeps us invested because the writers care deeply about all the characters.
