There are hundreds of screenwriting contests but only CineStory offers all
semi-finalists and finalists a chance to attend its prestigious writer's
retreat in the mountains of Idyllwild, California. Each attendee gets four
one-on-one mentor meetings, as well as participating in numerous panels and
group discussions on topics such as: pitching, finding representation, new
media markets and story concepts that work.
In addition, the winner is awarded $2000 and a year-long mentorship with an
industry pro.
CineStory mentors are all working screenwriters, managers, agents and
producers. Past competition winners include Academy Award nominated Mark
Fergus & Hawk Ostby ("Children of Men") and writer/director Greg Marcks
