Objective
We are San Francisco. We love film and we care so deeply about developing the next generation of filmmakers from the U.S. and abroad that we founded what we hope will be one of the most prestigious screenwriting competitions in the world for serious writers and serious subject matter.
San Francisco Int'l Screenwriting Competition & Film Awards is an online film festival and screenwriting competition.
We want to support serious writers who take on serious subject matter. That’s what we’re all about. We are located in the heart of California and are proud to be one of the only international screenwriting competition in the Bay Area. We are committed to finding the next generation of talent from around the world.
