Can you turn this logline from producer Edward Saxton into a 15 page winning script?
Break out your scriptwriting software and get to work, because the 7th Industry Insider Screenwriting Contest gives you the unique opportunity to turn this idea into a solid spec screenplay that could be your ticket to Hollywood success, just like past winner, Tyler Marceca with The Disciple Program.
The Industry Insider Screenwriting Contest is an international competition that facilitates relationships between new writers and Industry leaders looking to help aspirants embark on writing careers, and Tyler's winning script sold to Universal Studios with Mark Wahlberg attached to star and produce.
Tyler has been enjoying the spotlight, but took a moment to talk to us about his experience with the contest:
"No other contest offers what the Industry Insider Contest does -- a chance to develop your script alongside an industry professional. Some contests are about cash and prizes. The Industry Insider Contest is about advancing your career and developing material that can be successful in the marketplace. It's about opening up doors. Not only was my Story Specialist, Mario a consummate professional but an invaluable source of critical feedback. He brought tremendous energy and insight to each of our weekly sessions. You would think he was earning a ten-percent manager's cut. Mario (expletive) rocks."
Do you have what it takes to be the next success story?
Working from this A-list logline from Edward Saxon, Academy Award-winning® Producer of Silence of the Lambs, and Academy Award- winning® film Philadelphia, you're challenged to create up to the first 15 pages of an original script based on the given concept. Make it your own - drama, action, dark comedy... anywhere your imagination takes you!
"After a storm destroys her small farm, killing her mother and father, an adolescent girl is sent off on a journey of survival."
But it doesn’t stop there. The Industry Insider Screenwriting Contest goes much further than your average competition, by providing the top 10 finalists with mentors to guide them through the entire script creation process, with the goal of completing a spec screenplay to be judged by a panel of Hollywood power players.
Heres how it works:
The lucky winner receives transportation and lush accommodations at the Chateau Marmont in Hollywood, a classic Industry lunch with Edward Saxon at The Ivy, a meeting with Benderspink, and more.
