WE ARE DELIGHTED TO ANNOUNCE THE TOP 15 FINALISTS OF THE FALL SEASON OF OUR SHORT FILM FUND

VIEW OUR FINALISTS
https://www.shorescripts.com/2020_shortfilmfund2_winners/

THANK YOU TO ALL THOSE THAT ENTERED AND A HUGE CONGRATULATIONS TO OUR FINALISTS.

We were blown away by the quality of the stories and craft on show this season. It’s hugely inspiring to read the work of so many immensely talented writers who will no doubt go onto have successful careers in the industry.

We would like to thank you once more for showing the courage and ambition to submit your work for consideration.

This year has seen a record number of submissions which has made it extremely difficult to narrow these scripts down to our Top 15 Finalists.

Inevitably, this has led to many excellent screenplays unfortunately not advancing this time around. If your screenplay is not on the list, please do not be too disheartened as that doesn't necessarily mean that your writing isn't strong or that your script won't do well in the future.

Persistence is key in screenwriting. Keep writing!

OUR WINNERS WILL BE ANNOUNCED ON DECEMBER 14TH
