SCIENCE

Two awards for SeriesFest Digital Shorts 2025, one for Best Writer and one for Audience Award, with laurel branches on each side.

“Comedy is often an underappreciated writing craft, which makes it all the more exciting to award Sarah Adelman of BUSTED! for Best Writer. Crafting a world that is consistently funny is no small feat, and this pilot delivers with sharp, raunchy humor that surprises and engages. It builds genuine empathy around its lead character and left us wanting more.”
