However, Eve is also the woman blamed for bringing sin into the world, so she is quite enigmatic. History tells us copper came into use about this time and Genesis tells us Cain founded the…

The Short Screenplay. Read over 200 short script pitches in 33 genres

WILDsound Festival's avatarWILDsound Festival

The Short Script. Why write one? There are many reasons to. If you’re just starting out, it’s the best way to master the art of storytelling in the screenplay format. If you can’t tell a story in 10 pages, then perhaps you shouldn’t try to write a full length feature script. Also, if you want to get your script made into a movie, this is easily the best way to make that happen because there are 1000s of young filmmakers out there looking for solid short film scripts to make to jump-start their own careers.

Stephanie Joalland wrote a great article on the 7 Rules of Writing a Short Script:

WILDsound has over 200 short screenplay loglines to read. Great for any producer or filmmaker looking for a solid story to turn into a film. Read them here:

Chatting with Harold L. Brown, WILDsound Feature Screenplay Winner

WILDsound Festival's avatarWILDsound Festival

I like the idea of breathing life into a story and short of seeing it performed on the big screen I like the idea of actors doing live readings. There is nothing more humbling then having your work read by professionals or performed in front of an audience – and WILDsound has done this and so much more. WILDsound has provided invaluable insights into my screenplays and my novel, offering advice that has strengthened my scripts and novel; and made me a better writer.

– Harold L. Brown, on what influenced him to submit to the WILDsound Screenplay Festival (Review)

Harold was one of the early 2014 feature screenplay winners. We performed his entire script HOPE IS NOT A BLACK & WHITE RAINBOW back in March. Watch it here now:
