Updates: Screenwriting Competition
They say that those who can’t do, teach, but in my case, I just announce. Our annual screenwriting competition is coming up. $1,000 goes to the winner of the competition with another thousand upon completion of the final film. All entries are due no later June 10, 2009 and there can be no more than 15 pages of script, so get cranking.
Each entry will be reviewed by a panel of filmmakers, screenwriters and my brethren, critics. All you need is a little Pixy dust, a touch of wishing upon a star, and I’m running out of metaphors for brainstorming and you’re raking up ideas. Don’t fight it, you and I both know that there’s a little muse in us all. The competition will culminate with the October 15-18, 2009 Script DC, where the 5-7 finalists will be featured in a live reading by a bank of actors. Audiences will vote on their favorite reading which, in conjunction with the judges’ decisions, will decide the winner.
Submit your masterfully written scripts by filling out the online registration form at Withoutabox.com and then emailing your scripts to scripts@dcshorts.com but please, these are short film scripts you’re writing, so no “War and Peace,” pretty please. There is a fee, but the sooner you get it in, the less it will be and there are discounts for those who qualify.

Reviewed films were randomly selected from the hundreds of entries to the 2009 DC Shorts Film Festival. The reviews are written by Bryan Koenig, an intern with an interest in film review and journalism. The opinions expressed are his own, and not that of the independent judging panel, the DC Shorts Film Festival staff, or the staff and Board of the DC Film Alliance.
