Objective
Awards Ceremony at a Film Festival! Screenplay Festival winners get that rarest of experiences for a writer; applause from an audience. Our winners get to come out from behind the keyboard and be celebrated!
Now Accepting Television Scripts! The writers spoke, and we listened. We have now added four categories to our contest for television scripts.
Screenplay Festival now features the following categories:
Feature Film: Action/Adventure, Comedy, Drama, Thriller Horror Television: Half Hour Script, One Hour Script
As one of the highest rated contests on MovieBytes, Screenplay Festival was established to help eliminate this "chicken and egg" problem. By accepting all submitted screenplays and judging them based upon their quality -- not their source or their standardized formatting or the quality of the brads holding them together -- Screenplay Festival looks to give undiscovered screenwriters an opportunity to rise above the crowd.

MovieBytes Interview:
Screenwriter Larry Postel
An interview with screenwriter Larry Postel regarding the Screenplay Festival Writing Competition.
Q: What's the title of the script you entered in this contest, and what's it about?A: X-MAS FILES. It's a family comedy about three kids who help Santa save Christmas from an evil ex-elf. The kids have all been grounded for various reasons, so Santa promises them reprieves if they help him. It's like THE GRINCH meets THE DIRTY DOZEN.
Q: What made you enter this particular contest? Have you entered any other contests with this script? If so, how did you do?A: This contest had a family category, so I thought I'd give it a go. I also entered X-MAS FILES in some other contests. I've done extremely well with it.
Q: Were you satisfied with the adminstration of the contest? Did they meet their deadlines? Did you receive all the awards that were promised?A: Yes, I was satisified. Everything went according to deadline and I received my award promptly.
Q: Were you given any feedback on your script? If so, did you find the feedback helpful?A: I didn't receive any feedback.
Q: Has your success in this contest helped you market your script? Were you contacted by any agents, managers or producers?A: I was contacted by a few producers, but nothing came of it. However, through another contact I did sell the script to an animation company in India. It's now in production as a 3-D animated film.
Q: What's your background? Have you written any other screenplays or television scripts?A: I've been writing scripts for a long time and have many other screenplays under my belt. I currently have three different scripts under option with indie producers. I've heard that dentists are a good source of financing; I've been trying to get a lot of cavities so I can continue meeting with mine.
Q: Do you live in Los Angeles? If not, do you have any plans to move there?A: I don't live in Los Angeles and have no plans to move there. However, I just planted two palm trees in my back yard in Dallas, so it makes me feel connected to Hollywood.
Q: What's next? Are you working on a new script?A: I'm working on a low budget thriller with limited locations and characters. It's set in a dentist's office.
