Denise Meyers Wins Inaugural SLOAN FOUNDATION GRANT

By: Denise Meyers
The Athena Film Festival, in partnership with the Sloan Foundation, has awarded Denise Meyers their inaugural screenwriter grant to further develop her award winning screenplay, LUCKY 13, about the Women's Air Force Service Pilots in World War Two. The festival will celebrate their partnership with the Sloan Foundation with a table read and reception at Barnard College on October 29 at 7:00. LUCKY 13 is inspired by the women who flew military aircraft in World War Two along with their efforts to save the B-26 Marauder from the scrap heap in advance of the D-Day invasion of Normandy, only to be disbanded to make way for male civilian pilots hoping to avoid the draft after saving the Marauder and the lives of the male pilots who flew them.

LUCKY 13 - Finalist for the Meryl Streep Writers Lab and Athena/IRIS Lab
By: Denise Meyers
LUCKY 13, a feature celebrating the accomplishments of the Women's Air Force Service Pilots, was selected as a Finalist for the Meryl Streep Writers Lab as well as the Athena/IRIS Lab in 2019. This powerful story explores the training pilots received at the only all female airbase in American history, and the pivotal role they played in salvaging the B-26 Marauder from the scrap heap in time for the air assault on Monte Cassino. Despite their success, the WASP are disbanded to make room for male civilian pilots hoping to avoid the draft. A handful of movies and documentaries about their lives have been produced, but most WASP will die before a major motion picture about the WASP will have been produced
