Regular Deadline: July 31, 2020
DESCRIPTION:
The High Concept Screenplay Program welcomes all genres and aims to discover, honor and reward different approaches, eclectic points of view and unique voices in screenwriting. A high concept screenplay:
has a great premise â the idea is king (e.g. âBigâ)
has a memorable title â it conveys what the movie is about (e.g. âWedding Crashersâ)
has a visual logline â you can see the movie (e.g. â40 Year Old Virginâ)
has universal appeal â all demographics âget itâ (e.g. âStar Trekâ)
has clear conflicts, high stakes, a hook, a ticking clock and/ or a twist (e.g. âLiar Liarâ)
has a succinct, descriptive âpitchâ of 25 words or less (e.g. âSeven, Home Aloneâ)
