In September, “Cutterjunk” won the grand prize for Best Horror/Sci-fi film at the New York Screenplay Contest, an international event where Hoxter competed with hundreds of other writers. In addition to that, his screenplay was also announced Oct. 1 as the grand prize winner in Science Fiction at the Hollywood Screenplay Contest, one of the world’s top screenplay competitions.  “Given that this was really an experiment and a way of trying something new for me, I’ve been delighted. That’s been nine competitions that it’s been recognized in some way,” Hoxter said. “It’s always encouraging as a writer. We just live on people liking our work, right?”  Hoxter said that “Cutterjunk” is a science fiction film about Coopy Meakes, a young woman and indentured worker on a space station, trapped by her employers whom she owes time to.
