Silver Screenwriting

Posts Tagged ‘screenwriting competition’

We’re into the last two weeks, and scripts continue to flow in from around the globe. We’ve seen some great concepts and wonderful writing already. We’re hoping for many more as we have production companies hungry to read. In fact, we’ve had so many requests, across such a broad range of genres and styles, that we’re looking to pitch both the winning scripts, and those which make the grade and meet production criteria.

A major trend this year has been multiple submissions. Many writers are sending two or more of their scripts. Each entry is a small, valuable investment in each project, and a great, low cost way of moving a script forwards towards that sale at the end of the rainbow.

We’re delighted with the range of scripts. The mixture of settings, styles, genres and approaches to the craft is fantastic, and it shows that it isn’t the dull, middle of the road studio fare which is inspiring you, it is eclectic global cinema and quirky Hollywood artists.

So, please keep ‘em coming. We can’t wait to read more…

A renewed, two year, 7 figure deal from Fox has been announced in the trades!

Fuse Entertainment, in case you didn’t know, is headed up by Michel Bondeson and is the company behind Burn Notice (search the archive for my interview of Matt Nix in 2009).

How lucky are we, at The Silver Screenwriting Competition, that our top scripts will be judged by Kristen Campo, VP of Fuse – a company which has got some serious jingle jangle in the pocket when it comes to developing scripts!

Hey, maybe our winner will be on the Fuse slate in 2011!
