INTERNATIONAL SCREENPLAY CONTEST - 2018
After a successful and totally rewarding festival in 2016 and a one that nearly killed us in 2017 (we were taken aback by the number of great entries and found it hard to make a final decision!), we're back!
"I am very very grateful for his brilliant analysis. The notes did not only show me that I have a lot to improve on the script (and there is not a single hint for improvement which I would discuss, he just hit the nail on the head everywhere), they also give some very good suggestions on HOW to make the necessary changes happen.
Overall it just motivated me to sit down with that script again. So, THANK YOU, Andrew Ellery!"
Kristine Tauch, 2016 Feature Script Runner-up and recipient of a valuable, in-depth script analysis.
Since 1994, TinselTown Productions has offered writing contests for writers of short stories, novels and poetry. After a great year in 2016, TinselTown Productions is running a new contest for TV and Film scripts - short or full length.
The contest is open to writers from all over the world - provided the script is in English - and entries in any genre.
Prizes include: a weeks stay in our writer's retreat in scenic Nova Scotia; feedback from a top script editor to help make the script even better; cash prizes - and the winning feature and short will be passed on to our network of producers for a consultation with an active producer looking for projects to option and produce.
We can confirm that at least one screenplay that didn't even make it to the final stages is soon to be taken on by top producers who are part of our global network. Judges this year will be working producers and executive producers, with TV and film projects completed in the last twelve months in the UK, Finland, Ireland and North America. The contest will give writers a unique opportunity to have their work read by some of the film world's current top executives.
Cash prizes of $50 and $25 respectively to those who reach quarter-finals in feature and short categories.
Semi-finalists will each receive $100 and a chance to pitch their script to a panel of producers.
Runners-up in both categories will receive a detailed script analysis by a top script consultant - value $1500
Winners will receive a one-to-one consultation with a producer actively looking for projects to produce plus a cash prize of $1000 and a week's stay in our writers' retreat in Nova Scotia (travel to the retreat not included)
