Welcome to Script2Screen!
Get Connected newest installment is meant to attract marketable
screenplays with local talent to be showcased at the event in order attract
funding and highlight local talent.
We discover projects and then work with
the screenwriters and/or filmmakers behind them in developing these
presentations. Selected scenes are chosen by the creator and
each project is given 15-20 minutes to stage their scenes and present/
pitch their project. Each project will be introduced by a
moderator where the writer and the actors are
introduced, and the title, the genre, logline and projected budget are
presented. The live performances are to give the audience a taste of
the overall film. Stage sets and elaborate props are NOT allowed as
this is ALL about the story, the character and the idea of the film.
Some creators opt to have their actors read from scripts while other
prefer to have their actors be off book. That is up to you. We are looking for
strong performances and chosen scenes that offer the audience a
strong sense of the overall project.
Our Goals Behind this installment at
Get Connected:
·
Showcase screenwriters to our
industry audience
·
Showcase local talent to the other
filmmakers in the room
·
Work in helping the project
attract potential funding
Screenwriters selected will be allowed
one free pass into the event and Actors receive a half-off discount.
FAQ’s:
What can I expect from this?
Your expectations are up to
you. If you have an unproduced script, actors willing to work hard, and make
time to market and showcase your project the best it can expect to have a good
response and to use this experience to help you take the next step. Do good
work.
What kinds of projects are you looking
for?
All kinds.
Will there be investors
there?
We hope so but NEVER make any promises.
At the very least this process will help you see your project come to life. We
try our best to attract investors to the event or those that can support the
creation of the process. Think of this as a mini live
kickstarter experience. We like to think each project will attract someone
who can help support a project financially.
Our movie has a ton of action and we
want to use large props.
This is more about the characters and
the performances. No large props only handheld items. You are given a
stage and lights. If you film has all action this experience might
not be best for you, however action can be creatively done in this
way.
Do I get a booth as well when we stage
our project?
No, a vendor booth is a great
compliment to your presentation however. Booths are $100.
Do me and my actors get to come in for
free?
No. All participants get half
off the normal admission fee of $10. We provide the venue, the stage, the
lighting, structure and help you with branding. We work with to help market,
develop and expose your project to our fan base. You and your team are also there
to enjoy the free food, the other projects presenting, and the film screenings
in the theater, the expert panels, and vendor tables and of course the
networking. Also we are trying to keep it so there is no extra
fee associated with this level of showcase. When you fill out the
form please tell us who you anticipate will be on your list.
No one came to my presentation.
This is the last thing we want to see
happen. We work with you to market your project but can’t promise the
crowd will come. The best experiences have come from those who work
with us in marketing. The best thing you can do is create a compelling RSVP,
work to get project confidence; invite people you feel might invest, invite
supporters, work with and support other groups.
Please email brent@blankstageproductions.com to start a request.
Your project will be reviewed and
if accepted you will be directed back here to fill out the submission form.
