Call for entries at AFF
The Austin Film Festival & Conference has issued its annual call for entries, seeking screenplays and teleplays.
The festival is seeking screenplays in the following categories: drama (historical, western, drama, family, romance, horror, thriller); and comedy (dark, satirical, slapstick).
This year, the festival has two more categories: the Latitude Productions Award, which is an adult-themed, character-driven script with a budget under $10 million; and the Sci-Fi Award, which includes science fiction, fantasy, horror, surrealism, myth/legend and fanstastical storytelling. To be considered in either of the two new categories, you must have your screenplay entered in either the drama or comedy category. Postmarked deadline: May 15. Late deadline: June 1.
Then there’s the teleplay competition. It’s open to spec scripts for any network or cable TV show currently in production, with two categories: drama and sitcom. The postmarked deadline: June 1.
Winners will be announced at the 2009 Austin Film Festival and Screenwriters Conference held Oct. 22-29.
