Independent Powerhouse: Charles River Films Garners Multiple Awards

ATLANTA - EntSun -- Charles River Films, a trailblazing independent production company, has clinched multiple accolades and partnerships over the past year, further cementing its reputation as a powerhouse in the realm of innovative storytelling. The company's recent achievements include several new awards and a prominent producing partnership for the feature script, "Funkle Fattie" based on the book written by Healy Lange, COO of Charles River Films.

"Funkle Fattie" offers a nostalgic look at a young man growing up during the anti-Vietnam War era of 1974. The world's turbulence juxtaposes his challenging and personally heartbreaking transition from boyhood to manhood. Development is ongoing.

As for more recent accolades, the Charles River Films' pilot script, "Letters to Addy" was named 2022 quarter-finalist at the esteemed Big Apple Film Festival Screenplay Competition and has been scooped up by People Store.

Says COO, Healy Lange, "We are also excited also about our Kaufman-esque script, "Blue" which has been described by one insider as 'elegant storytelling' and by BlueCat Screenplay Competition analysis as 'masterful and brilliant'... I'll take it especially since BlueCat did not select it. Funny, but fitting."
