In May of 2013, “The Don” Award was inducted into the CFI (Cape Fear Independent) Film Festival in Wilmington, North Carolina. This award, beginning in 2014, is in memory of our friend and supporter of up & coming writers and filmmakers, Don Payne (1964-2013). Don Payne was most notably recognized for his work as Writer/Co-Executive Producer (and

4 time Emmy winner) on the long running hit animated series, The Simpsons. His feature film work: screenplay for Marvel’s Thor, and story for Thor 2: The Dark World, 20th Century Fox feature film Fantastic 4: Rise of the Silver Surfer, and a personal guilty pleasure of many… My Super-Ex Girlfriend (an amazing screenplay!). Honored for his love of screenwriting, acting, film making, and the support he selflessly and secretly gave to younger, up & coming artists, “The Don” Award for Best Produced Independent Feature Screenplay will be given to one deserving screenwriter at the CFI Film Festival beginning in May of 2014. The 2014 Judging Panel includes:
Langley McArol (founder & chair)
Tammy Arnold (panel judge)
Terry Linehan (panel judge)
Carolyn Omine (guest judge/ The Simpsons)
Joel H. Cohen (guest judge/ The Simpsons)
