Program Description

Festival designed to showcase the best of ROMANCE based screenplays. This genre is always in demand by the industry using other genres (drama, comedy, fantasy etc..) with it. We accept all scripts with a key romantic plot. 

Get your screenplay performed by professional actors and made into a promotional video. Multiple winners every single month. Goal is to perform all scripts that are ready to be seen by agents, producers, and the world. 

 

This is the 5th or 6th time I’ve submitted a script to the festival over the past few years. I think it’s the timely and respectful feedback that has influenced me to enter the festival. For a reasonable price, I can get insightful feedback and a chance to have it read aloud. And it’s a chance you get monthly, which is cool.
– John Arthur-Ingram (Three Play – Feature Screenplay)

The prize. A table read is much more exciting than yet another copy of final draft. The reviewer called my writing brilliant, and I didn’t have to bribe or blackmail him/her. That felt nice.
– Olaf Baumann (Death Don’t Us Part – Feature Screenplay)

I loved the idea of actors reading my story. Apart from the potential publicity, this seemed like such a privilege. And I really appreciated the feedback. It was encouraging, but also spot-on as far as weaknesses.
– Lauren Hoekstra (Yellow Touch Red You’re Dead – Feature Screenplay)
