In 2016, Celine Song was a Relentless Award Semifinalist for her play Tom & Eliza. Today, her first film, Past Lives, which she wrote and directed, is getting critical acclaim after lighting up film festivals around the world earlier this year. Congrats Celine! #PastLives

The Relentless Subcommittee is hard at work reading submissions to find work that resonates with Adam Schlesinger’s love of dark humor and wit - The same qualities that he and @SarahKSilverman bonded over as they brought ‘The Bedwetter’ musical to life.
