Objective
Screamfest was formed in order to give filmmakers and writers in the horror/sci-fi genres a venue to have their work showcased to people in the industry. We are very proud that the majority of the films showcased now have distribution. Writers have garnered representation due to the festival.
Rules
- Screenplays can be submitted online.
- Online entrants can complete their application, make their credit card payment and upload a PDF version of their script.
- Feature film script length should be at least 75 pages and not over 130 (there is no page limit).
- We will notify screenplay finalists in October. The winning screenplay will be announced at the festival closing night awards ceremony.
- The screenplay finalists will be announced in an email sent to you from Screamfest and posted on the front page of the Screamfest website in October.
- Please add our email address to your email safe senders list, address book or contact list so that any correspondence with Screamfest will not be blocked or filtered into your bulk folder.
