Rules:
Please read and follow all contest instructions precisely. Incorrectly formatted, improperly identified scripts or missed deadlines will be immediately disqualified.
Each submission should be in written in industry standard screenplay form between 12 15 pages in length.
Stories should be character driven, focusing on an age range between 18 and 28. (Keep in mind that this is the age range of the acting pool. Occasionally older or younger actors are available)
Entries should keep in mind locations and stories that utilize campus facilities and New Haven. (It is not necessary to limit your imagination to “college stories” but to keep in mind the production resources and locations available. Stories that require, for example, the recreation of the Roman Forum with 30,000 extras are just not possible to produce)
Entries should follow one of three specific genre guidelines and structures set out on the internet site. |
