FINAL CALL FOR SCRIPTS FOR 2010.
The countdown to the Australian Film Festival is on! Script submissions are closing soon for features, documentaries, and short films of a maximum 15-min duration.
The Australian Film Festival together with NAFA present the FutureFilm Screenwriting Competition. The competition is open to scripts of any genre and for any medium (online content, television, excerpts from features or any film related content). So, whatever your medium, we want your best 15 minutes to put before the judges.
Only five scripts will be chosen as the FutureFilm finalists. These five scripts will be given a moved reading onstage at the Festival by professional actors, with the winner taking home a prize of $1,000.00.
It’s an exciting time for Australian film — so why not be a part of it?
The deadline for entries has passed. See below for details of the event.
NAFA and the Australian Film Festival present the five finalist Australian screenplays which will be read at the inaugural FutureFilm Screenplay Competition.
Finalists (in alphabetical order)
- Capes (Lucas Testro)
- Dead Already (Clive Hopkins)
- In a Foreign Land (Susan Woodford)
- Loser (Alexandra Edmondson)
- Quinkin (Michael Wannenmacher)
Selected actors will bring the scripts to life in moved readings. Each reading will be followed by a Q&A with the screenwriter, some of whom will be flying in from interstate.
Judges will award the best script prize of $1,000 in cash.
