Submissions are now OPEN!
Regular Deadline: July 31, 2020
DESCRIPTION:
The High Concept Screenplay Program welcomes all genres and aims to discover, honor and reward different approaches, eclectic points of view and unique voices in screenwriting. A high concept screenplay:
has a great premise – the idea is king (e.g. “Big”)
has a memorable title – it conveys what the movie is about (e.g. “Wedding Crashers”)
has a visual logline – you can see the movie (e.g. “40 Year Old Virgin”)
has universal appeal – all demographics “get it” (e.g. “Star Trek”)
has clear conflicts, high stakes, a hook, a ticking clock and/ or a twist (e.g. “Liar Liar”)
has a succinct, descriptive “pitch” of 25 words or less (e.g. “Seven, Home Alone”)
