Need Practice Pitching your script?

Pitch it to Tom Craig, former Sr. Exec VP at Universal Studios, the man who brought you: “Rainman” and “Shakespeare in Love”.

WriteMovies 36th Writing Contest results

WriteMovies 36th Writing Contest results We received nearly 1000 screenplays, books, plays, short stories and articles from the following countries: USA, Canada, United Kingdom, Ireland, Australia, New Zealand, Germany, France, Belgium, India, Switzerland, Austria, Russia, Italy, Greece, Nigeria, Georgia, Mexico, Japan, South Africa and The Cameroon. The overall standard was very high, hence the large number of writers we found to be eligible for the final rounds. 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 will stay in touch with us. 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 With thanks and best wishes to you all, YOUR WRITEMOVIES TEAM Winners: 1st Place – Ben Gibson, “LAST CALL” 2nd Place – Nick Amatuzio, “BLOOD RUNS DEEP” 3rd Place – Raymond A.
