We are proud to announce that Desperate Measures, written by R. Douglas Marley, has been officially selected as an entry in the Best Screenplay category at the 7th Edition of the Live Screenings International Film Festival (LSIFF7), held on May 31st, 2025.

This official selection is a meaningful recognition of the screenplay’s creative merit and a testament to the strength of its storytelling. To be chosen among the screenplays competing for this category at a respected international festival is a significant milestone, and we are honored to be part of such a vibrant showcase of talent.

Desperate Measures is a compelling narrative that confronts themes of justice, loyalty, and survival. It follows characters facing intense personal and ethical decisions—often with no clear right or wrong. The story draws its power from emotional depth, moral tension, and richly developed character arcs.

Behind this powerful work is a dedicated team represented by Paper Wrights, whose collaborative spirit and craftsmanship played a crucial role in completing the screenplay writing process. Their attention to structure, tone, and thematic clarity helped bring Desperate Measures to life, ensuring that the script not only engages but resonates.

While Desperate Measures did not take home the award, being officially selected for the Best Screenplay category affirms the project’s creative promise and future potential. It brings us one step closer to seeing this vision fully realized on screen.

We extend our sincere gratitude to the Live Screenings International Film Festival committee for this recognition, and to everyone who has supported this journey. Most especially, we acknowledge the talented team at Paper Wrights for their tireless commitment to elevating the work at every stage.

Stay tuned as we continue to develop Desperate Measures and share more exciting updates along the way.
