RUNNERS-UP

EARSHOT by Evanna Meehan White

SEYMOUR'S FLOWERS by  Jordan Hill

As a storyteller, you have the opportunity to imagine the world that you want to live in. Create a short video or write a sequence with a main character who is facing either an internal or external conflict to overcome. In your submission, show how this character rises to take agency, meet the challenge and make the change that will be transformative. This is a scene that would take place in the third act of a script and lead to the resolution.

SUBMISSION LIMITS

Your written work cannot exceed 10 pages and short films should be under 8 minutes.

Deadline to submit: January 31, 2020 at 12PM/Noon PST.
