ScriptBiz™ Seeks Comedic (or otherwise) Shorts

No, we don’t want to see your Homer Simpson boxers. What we do want is your wittiest or most thoughtful mini-masterpiece, postmarked by May 15th 2006!

For the third year in a row, ScriptBiz—the daylong screenwriting seminar of the Rhode Island International Film Festival (RIIFF), August 8-13, 2006—will feature a Staged Reading of three Short Scripts of fifteen pages or fewer. The reading compliments a day of screenwriting workshops.

Judges will select up to seven Finalists who will be listed on the website. Final Round Judges, including a NYC agent and two filmmakers, will select the Top Trio of Scripts from among the Finalists to be read by actors on Monday, August 7, 2006 at the Historic Columbus Theatre in Providence, Rhode Island.

Screenwriters interested in submitting should surf over to the RIIFF website at: http://www.RIFilmFest.org

Three winners will be announced by email, on the website and in press releases by mid-June, and they will be listed in the festival’s magazine-style brochure. Plus, the trio of winners will each receive two passes to attend the entire ScriptBiz event as our guests. All for only a $30 entry fee!

But wait—there’s more: three winning authors will also receive two All Access Festival VIP Passes to attend the Rhode Island International Film Festival events and screenings (a $800 value!). In addition, winners will be honored guests at a Meet-N-Greet of the authors and the actors following the Staged Reading.

So dust off your future academy winning short script and send it to us today. C’mon, don’t be shy—show us your shorts!
