KAYfilms Productions is holding the 1st Annual KAYfilms Summer Screenplay Contest to search for the feature-length screenplay we'll produce next summer.
Submissions should be narrative screenplays 80-120 pages in length in any genre that tell a compelling story with rich characters - all while keeping our tiny budget (less than $500) in mind.
Rules:
Entries must be narrative screenplays of 80-120 pages. Explicit language should be used only when necessary, and scenes should not require nudity. Scenes which call for complex special effects should also be avoided. No scene should require more than 100 extras.
Submitters must have full rights to their submissions, or have secured written permission to submit on behalf of the party which owns the rights. A photocopy of this statement of permission must be sent with the submission materials.
The ideal screenplay has a compelling story, strong characters, good dialogue, and can be produced for less than $500. We suggest using a minimal number of locations, and choosing very general locations that are easy to film in for little or no cost (public parks, for example). Also, while screenplays set in different time periods are allowed, keep in mind that period costumes and sets can be relatively expensive and hard to find.
Deadlines:
Early Submission
January 16, 2012 - No Entry Fee
Regular Deadline
February 16, 2012 - $5.00 Entry Fee
Late Submission
March 16, 2012 - $10.00 Entry Fee
