Alpha Blair - 2010 IFFF Comedy Screenplay Finalist

Alpha Blair, a finalist (comedy category) in the IFFF's 2010 Screenplay Competition received her award for penning the "The Seduction of Auntie Rose," a story about a free-spirited young woman who helps her conservative grandaunt gain the courage to seek her ideal love, and in the process, finds her own.

"The Comedy category was extremely competitive this past year," says Patte Dee McKee, IFFF Film Programmer and Screenplay coordinator. "Comedy never trends out, especially with so many national and international conflicts and economic crisis these days. We still need to laugh, and no one understands this better than the writers."

Ms. Blair is no stranger to the IFFF, having submitted screenplays in previous years for competition. The festival wishes her the best in turning her fiction into a cinematic reality.
