What can writing about a murdered Teen–Queen, a voyage to the South Pole, or the abduction of a baby girl get you? Potentially, $25,000, automatic entrance into the IFP Market in New York and a stage reading with professional actors. The finalists for the 2005 IFP McKnight Artist Screenwriting Fellowship have been announced, moving all eight contestants a step closer to the final prizes. Two winners will eventually be selected by a second panel of three judges and are expected to be announced by late-June.
