Program Description

In honor of Black History Month, Filmocracy is looking for up-and-coming Black screenwriters who want to gain exposure and show off their talent to the filmmaking community!

  • Contestants will have 1 hour to write a short scene based on a prompt to be provided at the beginning of the event. There will be spectators who will be observing you write while chatting amongst themselves.
  • Each contestant will be seated at a featured position in their own virtual room and asked to share their screens as they embark on their writing process.
  • Everyone else is free to jump from room to room and witness the creative process unfold amongst the contestants!
  • Once the hour is over, we'll launch into a presentation so all of the writers can prepare our panel of actors to perform a table read of the scene.
  • Once all of the scenes have been presented, attendees will be asked to vote on their favorites to decide on a winner!
If you're a writer interested in competing, please send us an email to natalia@filmocracy.com to confirm details.
