FilmMakers.com
would like to take this opportunity to thank all the talented writers
and filmmakers who participated in our first contest. We were surprised by the response to our contest, which
surpassed our estimates by almost 100 % attracting a total of 756 entries
worldwide. We were equally but
pleasantly surprised with the high volume of exceptional material received.
Some of
the scripts were postmarked by the due date, but arrived as late as the 12th of May 2000. The majority of entries came from the US,
with some
(approximately 10%) from England, Australia, Canada, Israel and New
Zealand.
Last week
we shipped the last of the top 100 scripts to the Radmin Company which will
read all the scripts and choose the top twenty.
(Approximately 30 days)
FilmMakers.com
and The Radmin Company will pick the top 10 semifinalists and subsequently the
top five finalists.
FilmMakers.com,
The Radmin Company, and two production companies will read the five finalists'
submissions and select a winner.
