Youth Filmmakers Contest
“What’s the REAL DEAL about Masculinity?” What story do you have to tell? Scenarios USA wants to hear your story about what it means to be masculine. We think you have important things to tell us, and other teens, about the 2007 topic: “What’s the REAL DEAL about Masculinity?”
WRITE: Write a story, play or script of 10 pages or fewer. Your story, play or script can be funny or serious — or somewhere in between. You can write on your own or in a group. Think about the characters, the dialogue, the setting and the action in your story. To enter the contest, you must complete and send in your entry by November 28, 2007.
WIN:The Scenarios USA Selection Committee will choose one winning submission from New York City; one from the Rio Grande Valley, TX; and one from Greater Cleveland, OH. If your story, play or script wins, you and a Hollywood director will make your submission into a short film produced in your community. When your film is finished you”ll be the guest of honor at its premiere and party in NYC. Your film will also be shown on TV and in schools across the country. Everyone who submits a story, play or script to Scenarios USA will get a Certificate of Participation. Everyone who enters the contest will also have the opportunity to apply to intern on the film set of the winning entry in their region.
SHOOT:If you win you and your director will develop your winning submission into a screenplay. You will be involved in every aspect of production — from casting to choosing locations. Working with a professional film crew you will make the film in your hometown.
