(openPR) - Hollywood, CA—(April 17, 2007)— Accomplished screenwriter and director, Kitania “Kitty” Kavey, wins 2nd Runner Up in the “Best Screenplay” category at the Beverly Hills Film Festival for her original screenplay "Shades of Sin." After seven thriving years, the Beverly Hills Film Festival (BHFF) remains an international competition dedicated to demonstrating the works and talents of up-and-coming members of the motion-picture industry.

Although Kavey was competing against numerous screenwriters with far more experience and education, she walked away with the prestigious honor. What makes this unusual is that Kavey is a disabled person with visual impairment and a brain injury. She’s only taken one screenwriting class in her life, and never graduated high school. Kavey has already won six other awards this year. This is truly an amazing achievement.

“All’s I can say is, wow. To be judged by such a terrific jury and to be validated as a screenwriter is a terrific feeling.” says Kavey. “My next goal is to direct Shades of Sin, and I'm actively seeking a producer for that.”
