WriteMovies.com WMC39 International Writing Competition: Congratulations to the winners!

WMC39

Thank you all for your submissions, and our congratulations to everyone listed here.

We decided against many competent works for a variety of reasons. Some were not suited for the cinematic medium. Others were conceptually flawed, in that they either delivered last year’s movie or an idea that was just not feasible. There is nothing sadder than a brilliantly executed “bad idea”, (well, unless it’s a badly executed good idea). But in all honesty, the shelves of most Hollywood pros are lined with these. We hope that those who did not make the quarter-final will stay in touch with us: very few writers secure an industry commission with their first few screenplays. We have enjoyed our myriad of email exchanges and are working hard at making this site more relevant to your careers. Don’t forget that many of our writers got their careers going by using our consulting service: CLICK HERE
