We’re kicking off December with a brand-new batch of targeted Open Writing Assignments (OWAs) for 2025. These opportunities come directly from a powerhouse group of producers, showrunners, and executives looking for the next Palm Springs, Parasite, or Beyond the Lights.
With a direct line to top-tier talent and companies, this is your chance to get your work onto high-level desks. But the window is short—submissions close Wednesday, December 18th.
Here’s what the industry is actively seeking:
1. For Your Sharp, Theatrical Comedies
A Producer & Showrunner is seeking comedy scripts in the vein of Palm Springs, Someone Great, and Punch-Drunk Love.
2. For Grounded Genre with a Major Twist
A Manager of Development is looking for grounded genre projects with unique twists and a strong POV. Think the bold originality of Parasite, Everything Everywhere All at Once, and Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind.
3. For Character-Driven Thrillers & Horror
An Acquisitions Executive seeks character-driven thrillers and horror with budgets under $10M, comparable to the intensity of The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, Revenge, or Drive.
4. For Faith-Based & True Stories
A Manager/Producer is looking for faith-based features, preferably under $5M and based on or inspired by true events, in the spirit of I Can Only Imagine and Miracles from Heaven.
5. For Gripping Political Dramas
A Producer and Director is actively seeking political stories with the high-stakes drama of The Post, The Ides of March, or Political Animals.
6. For Music-Centered Projects (Scripted & Unscripted)
A Producer & Showrunner seeks both scripted and unscripted projects centered on music, inspired by hits like Beyond the Lights, The Idol, and Rhythm + Flow.
If your script aligns with these comps and visions, this is your direct pathway to submission.
