The new ScriptXpert
Script Search is on! The ScriptXpert Script Search aims to
discover new material on behalf of leading Production Companies,
Producers and Execs, with the possibility of the selected
screenwriter’s script getting optioned and/or purchased and produced.
The search begins with The Asylum, which is a motion picture
production, financing, and worldwide distribution studio that fully
finances and produces 15-25 titles per year. Their credits include Sharknado,
Mega Shark vs. Crocosaurus, and Paranormal Entity. If you
have a script you feel is a good fit for The Asylum, check out the submission
rules for your chance of getting your script optioned!
Submissions are open until November 30, 2014.
When I started the new Facebook
ScriptMag Writers' Community, I had no idea how quickly
people would jump in and start connecting! The group is incredibly
supportive, offering advice and starting discussions on all types of
topics. Come join the fun!
Now get reading and get writing!

reality. Digital technology has opened up the possibilities for
filmmakers to bring their visions onto the screen. But one element
of this process has not changed—and that is the key to a successful
documentary—knowing how to write one.
