What are the benefits of Sci-Fi and Fantasy films? And why is the WriteMovies Sci-Fi and Fantasy Award 2024 the perfect opportunity for screenwriters to demonstrate their limitless imagination?
As a writer of a story, you get to play god, you decide where the characters go, what they do, how they feel and what they encounter. Sci-Fi and Fantasy films allow you to transport these characters, and by extension, the audience, beyond the boundaries of reality, making them two of the most expansive and versatile genres.
From the futuristic technology of Blade Runner to the magical world of The Lord of the Rings, they provide more than just an opportunity to captivate an audience. The writer can also explore complex themes such as humanity and mortality through the framework of otherworldly narratives. The speculative futures of science fiction are ideal for tackling societal or philosophical issues, whilst fantasy opens the door to pure escapism. The ability to push the boundaries of what’s possible has allowed sci-fi and fantasy films to reach great success!
