About
We’re looking for ACTION MOVIES and carefully crafted THRILLERS. Whether you have a tense thriller or a big, effects-driven action film, we want to read your screenplay. Professional feedback from studio-trained readers is available on all entries.
Benefits
ScreenCraft's Action/Thriller Contest has a prestigious jury who will read the finalist scripts and help choose the winners. The juries in the past have signed winners and optioned projects. This year's jury is composed of Fox Studio executive Jonathan Wu, Ryan Wickers of Europa Corp (TAKEN, LUCY), and other executives from production companies focused on action projects like THE EXPENDABLES, MISSION IMPOSSIBLE, OLYMPUS HAS FALLEN, and MINORITY REPORT . The winners will receive a cash grant and be read by screencraft's partners at production companies, agencies, and management companies.
Writer Success
The ScreenCraft Action & Adventure competition helped open doors for me by landing me vital meetings with multiple executives at production companies as well as working writers in the industry.
