If you've read this far, you're paying attention: please accept a one-time 25% discount for our amazing screenplay/script coverage and a chance to have your work presented to Hollywood agents, producers, and/or executives - use the code Screenplayx25 . The code is good until December 31, 2022.
For a 50% discount on any film submission use Filmx50. Please DON'T use the 50% code for a screenplay/script as the system will mark the submission "disqualified" with no option for refund.
SCREENWRITERS, a great script can launch your career! We submit professional queries, on behalf of high-scoring writers, to Hollywood agents, producers, and/or executives for evaluation. EVERY submission receives insightful written coverage. Features and TV scripts also receive a template for a professional industry query-letter so that you may send out your own queries, if you wish.
Our awards include software used by some of the most successful entertainment companies and Universities around the world, including Disney, BBC, Marvel, EA, SEGA, Microsoft, Harvard University, Princeton University, and so many, many more. Prizes include copies of the absolutely remarkable film-crafting software packages Causality, and DramaQueen, and subscriptions to the world-renowned InkTip, where producers go to find great scripts!
The BLASTOFF system to rate and select films for screenings is thorough and fair. The "thumbs-up thumbs-down" system of judging is a lazy cop-out. At BLASTOFF we thoroughly score your film across AT LEAST 10 crucial categories, and for add-in submissions (best director, cinematographer, actors, music, stunts, VFX etc. ) 23 possible categories, to arrive at a comprehensive assessment of the work. We've found that WINNERS IN ADD-IN CATEGORY SUBMISSIONS usually make for exciting viewing, and are strong contenders for screening selection and distribution.
Using the resources of our festival, we want to help make your experience as wonderful, uplifting, and rewarding as we possibly can. To that end we also offer selected films (shorts and features) worldwide profit-sharing distribution opportunities.
BLASTOFF issues beautiful custom laurels YEAR-ROUND to exceptional, high-scoring films. That award qualifies your film for consideration in our final winners' pool.
BLASTOFF celebrates the dedication and hard work of above AND below-the-line team-members. Submission categories eligible for awards, include BEST PERFORMER (non gender specific), MUSIC, CINEMATOGRAPHY, STUNT-WORK, and so many more. Take a look the awards list.
SONGWRITERS, FILM-SCORE COMPOSERS, and SOUND DESIGNERS, you elevate a film to places it could never go without your talent. We know that, and we salute you with categories specific to you and awards to honor your work.
"The BLASTOFF dedication and love for film and filmmakers is boundless."
Talent and success are magnets for industry people! It's a chance to skyrocket your credibility and respect in the industry! When you submit to BLASTOFF you gain access to a world which can offer filmmakers wonderful, uplifting rewards for their creativity, courage, and the massive energy required to make a film. It's a life-changing opportunity! Take it. You've earned it. You deserve BLASTOFF EXPOSURE.
Again, you don't have to wait until notification date to get a BLASTOFF laurel on your poster. We issue our beautiful, custom-designed "Nominee" laurels year-round.
