Jersey City, NJ — The screenplay for Remnants of Nova has completed its journey in the Nashville Film Festival Screenwriting Competition as a quarterfinalist in a highly competitive field. This marks the second acknowledgement of the screenwriters’ work and serves as a personal win for Singer-Songwriter and Co-Screenwriter Kimmie Devereux, who is a Nashville resident.
“We’re thrilled to have made it to the quarterfinals at this historic festival,” said Writer/Director James Barker, “this recognition means a lot to us, especially since Kimmie is part of the local Nashville community and music is so central to our script.”
One of the first film festivals established in the United States, Nashville Film Festival emphasizes music and musical artists in their programming and competitive categories. The fest accepts submissions from around the world and has screened many films that have gone on to win Oscars.
The Remnants of Nova team looks forward to continuing our relationship with the festival in the future once the film is completed.
The filmmakers, Kimmie Devereux, James Barker, and Richard S. Ormsby met during their undergraduate years at Montclair State University where they studied film and television production under seasoned filmmakers Roberta Friedman, Marya Cohn, and Karl Nussbaum. They currently pursue creative careers in Nashville, New York, and Los Angeles, respectively.
Production is planned to take place at various locales in New Jersey in January 2024, with a team of local talent.
