"Until They Are Home" - Best Feature Screenplay
As a former journalist, Mary Kate Allen has always found the best stories to be the ones that come from real-life events. And she doesn’t have to look very far for inspiration. For example, her screenplay Until They Are Home is based on her own family’s struggle to bring home a loved one from war.
