First Scene and Short Film Screenplay Festival is a unique, once in a life time opportunity. It has significantly increased the attention my screenplay receives from producers, while the feedback proved remarkably helpful and insightful. The attention to detail and idea behind basing a contest on the first ten pages is what sets it apart from other competitions, and the icing on the cake is seeing and hearing actual actors read the words you’ve written.

I cannot recommend it enough!
