Dani Faith Leonard Helps Writers With Big Visions But Empty Wallets

"The idea for our Screenwriting Competition originated when we expanded our company with our membership initiative. BVEW started as an NYC-focused online magazine for independent film. Soon after, we expanded by offering national content and launched our membership initiative to provide even better resources for all artists. Now, Big Vision Empty Wallet is a networking organization dedicated to bringing together artists from all over the world and helping them create art with no rules. Our members work in independent film and other forms of art: Theatre, visual arts, music, dance, multimedia, etc. Some of our first members were screenwriters, and we are always trying to help them figure out the best ways to get their work read and, ultimately, produced. Often, writers aren’t thought of as artists in the traditional sense, so we wanted to provide them with an opportunity to have their work read by successful writers and filmmakers. We decided to host a competition, and as soon as our incredible judges were on board we sprung into action!"
