"This is a special year for us," said film producer Suzanne DeLaurentiis,
"We are proud to launch our grant foundation for filmmakers who show talent, determination and integrity in their work."
The CCIFF is dedicated to supporting talented screenwriters by utilizing the resources of the Festival to foster the winning screenwriters through networking opportunities, and film industry access. Filmmaker Danny LeGare is the first recipient of the Award and is currently in production on his first feature film with Suzanne DeLaurentiis Productions called ‘New Hope Manor.’
