Thanks Bre for the heads up.

This comes on the heels of: being the 2014 Page Awards Grand Prize Winner and Being signed to C.A.A. in September of this year.

Alas, Matías has yet to receive the coveted crappy mug...

WOWSER!!! I believe that's Three of Swords which I had the pleasure to read!!!!!!

This is BIG!!!!!   8)8)8)8)8)

Congratulations, Matías!! This is huge!

Boy, I hate that guy.

Great news!!!

Absolutely ENORMOUS accomplishment to make the Black List. Congratulations Matias!

Inspiration to us all, way to go Matias!

Frankly typical.

Now, I'm off to play some Smiths and Radiohead songs in a darkened room while I punch a teddy bear.

Quoted from Don Alas, Matías has yet to receive the coveted crappy mug...

Too funny!  :D

Seriously though, as someone who's been around here for a very very long time, I'm so super excited to see so many SS member having successes these days. Breanne also announced last week that her feature Warning Shot will star Bruce Dern! Many members having scripts being produced, optioned and winning contests. I think this is all very exciting and proves, that big stuff can happen to anyone who works hard at it and Simply Scripts is THE best place to learn and grow and connect with filmmakers ON THE PLANET! And it's free!!! 8)

Ditto to all Pia just said.

Congrats to Mathias!  And also to Breanne!

Btw, I don't have a mug either so I'm now going to view that as a portentous sign.  ;)

Love the responses from Bert and Ren.  ;D

Matias is a really great writer. Don't know him personally, as I think he was one of the Movie Poet crowd and most active here just before I joined, but I've read his work and he's so talented.

Great news - big, big things await! (Out of interest, how old is he? So I can convince myself I've still got plenty of time if I ever actually knuckle down.)

If you're reading this - congrats, Matias!

Grats. Who is Mathias?

What an achievement. That is super news.

If you are so inclined - a list of many of the scripts appear here:

Thanks so much, folks! And congrats to Breanne as well.  :)

Yes this one used to be titled "Three of Swords". And I'm 38  :o

Yes, I remember reading it as well.  Great news.  But no one should be surprised.

I hope you and Breanne don't forget about us.

Thanks everyone. I don't want to hijack Matías's thread so I'll hold off on talking about my own project, but I appreciate the support. :)

Congrats, Matias! And to Breanne as well. Very Impressive news!

Congrats, both! That is seriously awesome news. Great work team SS :)

Can't say this doesn't make perfect sense. Congrats, you guys!

Congratulations Matias!

The Black List is impressive. Thrilled for you...  :)

(Oops, I think my first congrats was posted on the wrong thread...)

Thought I had said well done last night, but why not twice - this is so impressive. Hope it leads to even greater things.

And great news Breanne - tell us more when you can

Congratulations, I'm both happy and want to kill Matias at the same time!

;-)

Well done man!

Good luck to both Matias and Breanne. Hope you both get some money in your pockets from your scripts.

     CONGRATULATIONS!

By the way, congrats on getting The Locker as a semi-finalist for this year.

Super great news!!!

Awesome news, congrats to Matias and Breanne.
