For years, ReelHeART has been mentoring Screenwriters from around the world to get their Screenplay into the best possible shape for the next and most sought after step in their careers --- A Hollywood Option!

ALL Scripts receive FREE Valuable Industry Coverage from Industry Insiders!

If Hollywood doesn't come calling, then maybe the next step is representation from a Manager, Agent, or an Interested 3rd Party who has seen your screenplay as part of the judging process at ReelHeART or we've sent to a production house who makes the kind of films your screenplay is about.

Or maybe your ReelHeART experience gets you so inspired to make your next re-write so crisp and clean that you go on to make your Screenplay into a Film and enter it the following year and win a Prize!

Whatever the next step is for you as a Screenwriter, we mentor you by going through each and every screenplay entered with a fine tooth comb to get your script ready for that next re-write, or get your screenplay 'Table-Read' ready for a Live Festival Audience.

All Scripts entered receive valuable industry related coverage - for FREE

    ReelHeART is the ReelDeal. A great festival. Really supports the work and excellent all around. I will be submitting to them year after year.

    I can't say enough good things about this festival. Sadly, I wasn't able, because of scheduling, to attend the whole think. The hospitality was top notch, and the quality of the festival was excellent (although an air conditioner would have been nice) My screenplay 'The Door' was read by a professional team of actors, and read beautifully and ended up winning best screenplay. Highly, highly recommend this festival.

    Great festival, great communication, very hospitable. We loved seeing our script live-read and we're delighted it won its category. Can't wait to submit again next year.
