Stage32.com 'THAT'S A MOVIE!' Logline Contest

Is Your Logline Sabotaging Your Chances of Getting Read? Have it reviewed by an Industry Professional for FREE (and potentially win some awesome prizes)! Simply enter your logline at the bottom of this form.

Does this sound familiar? You spent months - or perhaps even years - perfecting your screenplay or television pilot and now you are ready to take that project out into the world. And then someone asks you what it’s about, “a quick one-liner,” and you freeze! How do you boil down your entire narrative, your protagonist’s journey, the obstacles, and the stakes all into a single sentence?

It is shocking but true, even if you write the most original and revolutionary story in history, if you do not have an effective logline, your story may never break out in this crowded market!

Why? Because industry professionals, including producers, managers, agents, filmmakers, and executives routinely hear hundreds of ideas and make quick decisions based on loglines. Show More

Why? Because industry professionals, including producers, managers, agents, filmmakers, and executives routinely hear hundreds of ideas and make quick decisions based on loglines. They judge the uniqueness of the project and it allows them to “see” your story’s structure and your “vision” and “voice” as a writer. And after hearing your logline, if an industry professional says, “That’s a movie!”, it is perhaps the best compliment a writer can receive.

So, what do you think? Would your logline catch the eye and the imagination of industry pros?

In our neverending mission to support the growth, education, and access of screenwriters all over the world, Stage 32 is thrilled to announce our “That’s a Movie!” Logline Contest!

Throughout the month of September, you are invited to submit your loglines for your original feature screenplay, television pilot, or short film to our panel of industry judges, including filmmakers, producers, managers, and executives.

Our panel of judges include Filmmaker Doug Atchison (AKEELAH AND THE BEE, BRIAN BANKS), Producer Aimee Schoof (10 Sundance, 4 Tribeca and 3 SXSW premieres), Netflix Director Mike Disa (“PARADISE PD”), Producer Bradley Gallo (GREEN HORNET for Sony), Literary Manager & Producer Andrew Wilson (Emmy-nominated “SELFMADE”), and many more!

These pros will review the loglines, offer their expert opinion and pitch their favorites LIVE every Friday throughout October! Together, these executives will decide whether or not “That’s a Movie!” (or a series, or a short).

The writers of the winning loglines will receive exciting prizes including FREE PITCH SESSIONS, FREE 30-min & 60-min CONSULTATION CALLS, FREE PREMIUM & STUDIO COVERAGE and more from Stage 32! There are over $10,000 in prizes at stake!

That’s right! This contest is FREE to enter and you are able to make as many entries as you like! But hurry! Submissions close on September 30th at Midnight!
