Thank you to the WGA.

In order to get Otelo Burning (City of God meets Once Were Warriors in a KwaZulu township) eligible for the No Borders International Film Production Market, the screenplay had to be registered with the Writer’s Guild of America. Baring a one technical glitch (their online facility didn’t like the number of digits in a South African ID number) the process was swift and painless. You can secure copyright on your screenplay by registering it here.
