We are Women Who Write in Film and our goal is to be the world’s foremost screenwriting competition for women. We want to support female writers and producers of all shapes and sizes, but we don’t just want to support female writers. We want to be a springboard for your success. We want to forge a festival that will discover and recognize the best emerging female talent and the most original female voices from around the world. We will go to the ends of the Earth to find the best new female talent and then do whatever it takes to put the top new female screenwriters firmly on the entertainment industry’s radar by designating them as finalists and winners in the Women Who Write in Film Screenwriting Competition.
We are committed to getting our winners scripts read by professionals who can help you achieve your goals.
2020's Grand Prize Winner was awarded a consultation package provided by Roadmap Writers that included sessions with top talent managers and executives at First Friday Entertainment, Fictional Entity, and Kersey Management. They also received a one hour script consultation with a development executive at Schemers Entertainment. Out top two finalists received consultations with top talent managers at Charles Osowik Management and Fictional Entity.
2019's winner was given a one hour private consultation with a long time development executive at Lawrence Bender Productions as well as other industry introductions.
Next year's winner will also be awarded a one hour consultation with an industry executive that we feel can most inspire and help them get to the next level of their career and much of it will be determined by the writer's needs and the genre they write in. For example, if a writer already has a manager they love, there would be little advantage in arranging a consultation for them with another talent manager. In that case, we would introduce you to a production executive. Furthermore, if our winner writes a horror film, an action flick, or even a comedy our goal would be to pair them with an executive who specializes in that genre to help further our individual winner's goals.
Please note that only our Grand Prize Winner and top two Finalists receive industry distribution and prizes. Semi-Finalists will only be rewarded with recognition and laurels like in most screenwriting competitions.
The Women Who Write in Film Int'l Screenwriting Competition is a Cinema Public House production. We are a US based independent festival company that produces festivals all over the world.
