Do you have a great sci-fi or fantasy script that's ready for the industry? Was E.T. THE EXTRA TERRESTRIAL about an alien visitor or a family drama that explored a child’s understanding of the world? In STAR WARS, when Luke Skywalker swung across a ledge with a princess in his arms, where did the sci-fi end and the fantasy begin? And should THE TRUMAN SHOW even be called a sci-fi film for bending the technology of its setting to tell its story? This contest is a celebration of traditional and idiosyncratic sci-fi and fantasy narratives.User Feedback: 1 Comment (Post a comment of your own)

Filmmatic Pitch Now Screenplay Competition
Final Deadline: 11/30/2023 (expired)
Filmmatic coined a slogan, "Hidden screenplays never get produced". As writers, we spend a lot of our precious time crafting unique scripts, yet we hardly ever employ an equal level of passion when attempting to get our work into the "right hands". The exposure and prestige one can gain from placing or winning a screenplay competition is invaluable, but what do you say this time around we also get you PITCHING! Let's get proactive, let's pick a production company that makes sense for our project, tell them we were a Pitch Now Finalist or Winner, and get them to review our work, now not later ;) All 100 finalists will be able to pitch to a studio or production company of their choice via Virtual Pitch Fest! The competition is open to feature-length and short works, screenplays and teleplays.User Feedback: 1 Comment (Post a comment of your own)
