About

Submit now to The High Scribe Screenplay Competition where the SVFF strives to match seasoned screenwriters and producers with the finalists, to help in the journey of taking script to screen.  A committed group of mentors/advocates have been instrumental in not only securing management, but also screenwriting jobs and screenplay sales for High Scribe winners and even Finalists.


The Sun Valley Film Festival, is a 501(c)(3) charitable non-profit organization whose mission is to cultivate and promote the art of filmmaking, and to use the power of storytelling to foster meaningful connections. Since 2012 SVFF has proven to be a concierge of opportunity connecting filmmakers with support both financially and through mentorship.
