New Playwrights Foundation (NPF)
NPF is a nonprofit, charitable, educational foundation formed in 1969 to “aid, nurture, and develop lesser-known local writers, to help them disseminate their works and establish their careers.”
From the earliest days of its existence, NPF has helped nascent playwrights, screenwriters, actors, producers and directors to sharpen their talents and better realize their projects through writers workshops and other means.
NPF has also been able to aid playwrights and writers for other media to procure production funds and services via donations, and by serving as sponsor to worthwhile projects.
NPF has received credit on many motion picture productions including: Fragments, a short film written and directed by Stan Salfas; Rambler 65, a psuedo-documentary by Dan Marcus (which was funded by Rhino Music); Glass Necktie, a feature film written and directed by Paul Bojack; and Irish Whiskey, a feature film co-written by Jon Stevens, Jeff Bergquist, and others, and directed by Jon Stevens. The other recent film productions include "The Lovers" written and directed by John Norvet and "Daybreak" written and directed by Mike Kacey. NPF has also received credit on recently completed Shades Of Day co-written by Vitaly Sumin and Jeff Bergquist, and directed by Vitaly Sumin.
Glass Necktie screened at the 1997 Dublin Film Festival and at the Independent Feature Project’s New York Film Market. Irish Whiskey played at the Palm Springs Festival and at Kansas City Film Festival to great acclaim and received a prize for Best Picture at the Temecula Film Festival, 1998.
NPF looks forward to good things from Shades Of Day and other forthcoming pictures by VM Productions as well.
