Street Rat Allie Punches Her Ticket
Winner, Nicholl Fellowships in Screenwriting Competition
An 18-year-old skater named Allie finally gets the chance to escape the gritty, dangerous futuristic city she’s always called home. But when freedom means abandoning her fellow “rats” to survive on their own, will she be able to go?
Work and Ye Shall Eat
Trapped inside a double ring of electric fences with no idea what lies beyond, a makes‑shift colonial town must eke out survival — tilling fields, tending animals, and arguing about what apocalypse brought them here. But as crops grow and rumors spread, the town’s leader must reckon with a terrifying choice: cling to safety behind the fence… or follow hope into the unknown.
