- Qualifies for Season Award Nominations in Best Screenplay Catagory

Selected writers will receive access to our online filmmakers, via our exclusive Festival Hub. This is the centre of communications and networking for the 11 festivals Lift-Off run, in 9 different countries around the world throughout the year.

Screenwriters selected from this showcase will be invited to network with these filmmakers virtually and physically gaining access to industry interviews and video workshops. You will also receive a free reviewers pass to any physical screenings at the festival. 

Here at Lift-Off we have seen a rise in fantastic, up and coming writing talent. Because of this, we want to give first-time screenwriters unprecedented access to the industry.

We accept all treatments, works in progress and scripts for all types of content (including web series, animation, short and feature length films). Single page treatments are free to submit and top 10% of these will be invited along with the other selections!

We look forward to reading your projects and are very excited to see the networking and potential collaborations that will be born from this.

    I enjoyed every moment of this experience. It was wonderful to meet everyone at the showcase and it felt special to get to visit the Pinewood studios.

    I have been impressed with the access to workshops, festival screenings (although I'm hoping to make more of these) and communication with professionals.

    My experience so far with Lift-Off has been brilliant and I'm hoping to submit to London Lift-Off Festival soon and work further with the company in future.

    Thank you.

    I was honoured to be selected for the showcase and I had the most incredible experience. It was so helpful to hear my script read aloud and connect with other writers/actors/directors. Everyone at Lift-off was lovely and supportive. I would definitely recommend this showcase!
