K1NDHEART by Scott McCarrey

K1NDHEART is a science fiction comedy adventure that finds humanity and humor in a rather unexpected place — a robot society on a terraformed moon. K1NDHEART, the only robot programmed to feel human emotion, and MONA, a young girl raised to survive in the wild, must outrun a relentless Bounty_HunterBot as they traverse the cyber-jungle exomoon Hestia in search of Mona’s crashed ship and lost family. (Half-Hour Pilot)

Feature Winner

Lucy and the Last Christmas by Arun Narayanan

Idealistic office assistant elf Lucy Goodshoe strives to bring the Christmas spirit back to the now jaded and corporate world of the North Pole. A humorous and lightly satirical holiday fantasy for all ages, reimagining Santa Claus as the conflicted C.E.O. of a modern business enterprise.

Short Script Winner

Vigil by James Carpenter

Tasked with defending his king's mysterious tomb, a great warrior has defeated countless foes over millennia. Now he is about to face his final challenger: a scholar from the distant future who seems to know more of the tomb's secrets than she lets on.

The winner of the Anders Lykke Guaranteed Signing Prize will be announced at a later date following consultations with a short list of finalists.
