Kevin Schewe's 'Bad Love Strikes' Triumphs in Film Festivals

Kevin Schewe's screenplay, titled Bad Love Strikes, has once again proven its strength in the independent film community, claiming six prestigious awards at two notable festivals: the IMDb-Qualifying Cambridge Script Festival and the FilmNest International Film Festival.

The screenplay, which is adapted from the first novel in the Bad Love Gang series, won the Best Historical Screenplay at the UK-based Cambridge Script Festival in April. Out of a staggering 594 scripts submitted, only 19 stood out, and Bad Love Strikes was honored as one of them. In March of 2025, the screenplay had already made waves at the FilmNest International Film Festival, securing five awards: Best Script, Best Unproduced Script, Best Fantasy Script, Best TV Pilot Script, and Best Web Series Pilot Script. This festival is renowned for showcasing indie films on a global scale, further solidifying the screenplay's significant impact.

Dr. Kevin Schewe expressed his excitement about these achievements. He shared, “The Bad Love Gang and I are beyond ecstatic and grateful for this amazing recognition. 2025 is the 'year to come alive' for this global tentpole movie franchise.” The Bad Love Series, which seamlessly interweaves historical accuracy with action-packed time-travel narratives, has set the screenplay circuit ablaze since its debut in 2023, amassing an impressive total of over 400 international awards.

Notable accolades include wins at prestigious events such as the Cannes World Film Festival, Madrid Arthouse Film Festival, Rome International Movie Awards, and many others. In early 2025 alone, Bad Love Strikes added victories at The Redwood Film Festival, The Author Script Awards, The Cine Fern Film Festival, and the Hollywood Hype International Film Festival, thanks to its outstanding storytelling and screenplay prowess.

Dr. Schewe attributes the series' success to a blend of personal memories and pop culture elements from the past few decades. He said, “These stories have come to life in such an organic way. They combine my lifetime of friendships and memories with my love of pop culture from the 60s to the 80s, WWII history, military aviation, science fiction, and time travel. Whether you're a history aficionado, a time-travel buff, a sci-fi lover, or just looking for an uplifting book series, the Bad Love Gang is the adventure you've been waiting for.”

The noteworthy reviews speak volumes, with one prominent Amazon reviewer, Grady Harp, describing the work as “skillful writing (both historical and fantastical), a zesty sense of humor, and an impressive ability to create unforgettable characters.”
