Submit the requested materials by the above date to be considered for our upcoming production slate.

Writers will be contacted in July on the outcome of their submission for this production cycle. The selected writers will receive support from our network of script/story editors and one-on-one writing feedback sessions with screenwriter Michael Koehler in developing their screenplay into a shooting script.

Please note: This program is for those interested in developing their script and abilities as a screenwriter, which involves the creation of a screenplay that another creative can direct into a completed short film. As part of selection, you will be forfeiting your ability to direct or produce this script, and will be credited only as the writer of the work.
