If you can't make it to a "Best of the Best" physical screening in Los Angeles, our expansion includes regular screenings in our truly exciting, immersive virtual environment. Our regular online screenings allow thousands of fans all over the world to enjoy your work. It's also possible to chat to fans and viewers before or after the screening. We'd love you to be a part of all the excitement.
SCREENWRITERS, a great script can launch your career! We submit professional queries for features, on behalf of high-scoring writers, to Hollywood agents, producers, and/or executives for consideration. Every submission for coverage receives insightful, written analysis to help you make that next draft great. 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.
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, 2024.
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.
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.
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.
