Frustrating isn't it? Unfortunately, it's the nature of the beast, and there is nothing we can do to change it.

The Contest's main objective is this: To open a line of communication between undiscovered screenwriters and producers, agents and managers.

We assist screenwriters in breaking down the first of many doors that stand in their way of establishing themselves within the industry. We are not here to promise you the stars. There is no such thing as "over-night success". We take a pragmatic approach to success. Baby steps--the first of which is to get your saleable pitch into the hands of potential buyers.

So. Register your screenplay. Write that killer logline. Enter our monthly contest for a minimal fee of $10. And, if you are one of the 25 finalists, we'll send your logline to our collegues at production companies, agencies and management companies. Also, the writers of the top seven loglines will receive some fantastic prizes.

Lets see if we can get some requests to read your masterpiece!
