Oberon's Gold Literary · Story · Western
About the contest
Nevada County Television (NCTV), Grass Valley California, conducted their First Annual “Here In Nevada County” Screenplay Contest and Oberon's Gold was selected as one of the ten winners.
Between June and September of 2014, the ten screenplay writers must produce a 10-minute film based on their screenplay that is going to premiere at the Del Oro theater in Grass Valley, California on October 6th, 2014, which is going to be open to the public — if there are going to be any seats available.
The films are not just, as they would say in the industry, ultra-low budget, but most of them have no budget at all, per the philosophy of the competition.
