The Ohio Independent Screenplay Awards have announced a new and additional screenplay award for 2002-the Best Voice of Color Screenplay Award-to emphasize their commitment to people of color, their stories, and getting those stories to the big screen. "When I think Voices of Color, I think voices which speak the language of a diverse, multi-culture of storytellers and visionaries longing to be heard," says Michelle Davis, a media artist/narrative writer who has received two Ohio Arts Council Fellowships in Media Art and Playwriting, works as an Artist- In-Education through the Ohio Arts Council, and is an OIFF board member and proponent of the new award.
