Our Season 3 Fellowship contest winner Erin Keefer's feature screenplay Dial It Back is now in pre-production!!! Instead of producing a short film, we have decided to produce the entire feature film!
Your screenplay could be next!
1. Winning screenplay will be produced as a short film!
---All genres accepted!
---There are no page limits but the winning film should be max 20 minutes (on a rare occasion, longer films will be considered).
---If you submit a script that is longer, you agree to work with the director to shorten the screenplay before production starts.
--The winning film will be distributed as a part of Twilight Season 3!
2. Only 100 submissions accepted!
---This means the contest will stop accepting entries after 100 script submissions have been received!
--The contest may run for 1 day or several weeks until this quota is met.
3. Each writer can submit up to 5 short screenplays!
---With only 100 open spots, you can increase your chances of winning by claiming all 5 spots (1/20 chances to win).
4. You can resubmit a new version of your screenplay for FREE!
---Once the contest closes, you have 30 days to resubmit a new version of your screenplay before the judging starts.
---This means you can initially submit a draft version of your screenplay when the contest opens and work on polishing it throughout the contest and 30 days after it closes.
5. The winning film will be distributed as a part of the Twilight Reno Season 3!
---This truly is a one of a kind opportunity to get your screenplay produced but also become a distributed screenwriter!
---Twilight Reno Season 1 is available on multiple platforms, including Tubi TV: https://tubitv.com/series/300010129/
