Film & Digital Arts alumni Michael Madrigal wins SFIFC Screenplay Contest for his stunning sci-fi horror script, Leviathan

“Selected from a field of powerful submissions, and chosen blindly by our judges without knowing the writers’ names, Leviathan stood out for its cosmic atmosphere, eerie intimacy, and poetic terror. Set beneath a rare eclipse in a remote cabin, the script explores what happens when contact is made—and it’s not what we expected.

Michael, an Albuquerque-based writer-director, brings a bold, visionary voice to the screen. We can’t wait to see Leviathan come to life.”
