Our 8 funded short films have played at some of the top film festivals in the world, including Tribeca, London Film Festival, Austin, Encounters, Aesthetica, Rhode Island, and many others.
During these difficult times, we are excited to commission two more stand-out short scripts for production.
We accept short scripts, animations, and proof of concept shorts for TV pilots and features.
THANK YOU TO ALL THOSE THAT ENTERED AND A HUGE CONGRATULATIONS TO OUR FINALISTS.
We were blown away by the quality of the stories and craft on show this season. It’s hugely inspiring to read the work of so many immensely talented writers who will no doubt go onto have successful careers in the industry.
We would like to thank you once more for showing the courage and ambition to submit your work for consideration.
This year has seen a record number of submissions which has made it extremely difficult to narrow these scripts down to our Top 15 Finalists.
Inevitably, this has led to many excellent screenplays unfortunately not advancing this time around. If your screenplay is not on the list, please do not be too disheartened as that doesn't necessarily mean that your writing isn't strong or that your script won't do well in the future.
Persistence is key in screenwriting. Keep writing!
OUR JUDGES HAVE SPOKEN. We are proud to announce our GRAND PRIZE WINNERS and TOP 5 FINALISTS!
ANTHONY FLOREZ is our Grand Prize Winner, who will receive $15,000 cash in production financing for his script TWO BEARS.
Our 2nd place winner is J. BATZ with ANNA which will receive a $10,000 cash production grant.
We are now commencing the next step with our winning writers to ascertain their plans for their projects. The writer's filmmaking team always retains full IP and ownership of the script and the film and we look forward to going into production in 2021.
Congratulations to our Winners and to all who took part.
