Thoughts on Short Screenplay Competitions
I am switching hats and log in names for the day.
We are going to offer a "short screenplay" section to the Expo Contest this year. We think we have 10k budget to produce a winner's short and we want to give $1000 to another winner. Do you ever enter short screenplay contests? Or is that more of a filmmaker--as opposed to screenwriter--thing to do? What do you like to see in short screenplay contests? Any input would be greatly appreciated. There will be a few other cool surprises for the Expo Contest this year. Jim Mercurio Expo Competition Coordinator expocompetition@aol.com |

Re: Thoughts on Short Screenplay Competitions
I enter short film contests, where I the writer can direct the short if I win.
As a writer/director I would get more respect and it opens up options for me and my writing. So I would enter the contest if I could also direct the short. Last edited by Wildgrace : 04-26-2006 at 07:12 PM. |

Re: Thoughts on Short Screenplay Competitions
I agree with Grace. $10K is a generous budget for a short film, but I wouldn't submit to such a contest unless I were given the opportunity to direct it as well.

Me three. I want one of those director chairs thrown in, too.
