FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

September 23, 2009

Announced tonight at 11:22pm to worldwide Fans of 3am, The J to the P to the Shih has made the surprising decision to come out of screenwriting retirement and enter a competition. Standing 5'6 and weighing in at 145 lbs with only 1 win under her belt, Shih has always displayed an ambivalent attitude towards the medium. But Shih has been working hard all summer, training in a private gym in the beach city of Santa Monica, CA with NBA stars and college athletes while watching sunsets and eating rich desserts with disciplined consistency. When asked if Shih is ready for competition, her basketball coach was quoted as saying, "That girl makes happen whatever she wants. I still don't know what she did to me." Expert analysts believe Shih could be a dark horse contender, but the biggest question mark surrounds her resolve to stay focused and ignore the baggage. Can Shih pull her mental focus enough to believe in a winner? Can Shih avoid a self-sabotaging psychout to triumph through word and mind? After 3 years out of competition...we'll find out if Shih is, indeed, stronger.
