Applicants must submit screenplays online via the Stage 32 portal.

Submissions that do not meet the criteria or are not of a professional standard will not be considered.

6) Submissions must be in a professional industry standard format with no grammatical errors, typos, or formatting errors.

7) Please do not contact any companies directly or "follow up" on a submission. We work closely with these companies and reaching out directly will have the opposite of the intended effect.
