Let's focus on Education       “Education is simply the soul of a society as it passes from one generation to another” - G.K. Chesterton     This summer why not treat yourself to learning more about the craft you love. Screenwriting is a complex art to master and one that very rarely benefits from being conducted alone. We have put together four great screenwriting courses to help writers at every stage of their career. From a tried and tested method to writing your first draft, to taking an in-depth look at storytelling, to how to polish your pitching skills and nail that writing opportunity. What would you like to learn next? If you'd like to join the conversation, join us on FACEBOOK, TWITTER, INSTAGRAM, or LINKEDIN, and let us know what you think. Keep Writing!       Are You Ready To Tell Your Story? Shore Scripts is excited to offer a unique opportunity to study with America’s premier screenwriting educator, former UCLA Head of Screenwriting, Prof. Richard Walter. Working online, at a pace of your own choosing, our screenwriting course will teach you all the tools needed to write your career-changing screenplay.       IN THE NEWS THIS MONTH     Our First Winners of 2021! We are proud to announce the winners of our 2021 Spring Season Short Film Fund. The Fund accepts short scripts, animations, and PoC shorts for TV pilots and features. We also accept filmed projects seeking Finishing Funds.  VIEW THE FULL LIST! WATCH THE ORGY FOR FREE! Sam Baron won the Short Film Fund in 2017 with THE ORGY, a story of a lonely man looking for love in all the wrong places. After successfully taking the project through production with Tilly Coulson, Working Title, the short had a stellar run at film festivals around the world. Now you can watch it for free on Short Of The Week. And keep a lookout as the film is now being developed into a TV series by Clerkenwell Films (The End Of The F***ing World). WATCH!       Answers to your questions     Q. "Hi. Can a show bible be submitted with a miniseries pilot?" Mark A. We focus on the script when making evaluations about placings and awards. For all our contests, there is no need to upload any other document than the script. We do not accept story bibles, pitch decks, lookbooks, treatments, etc. Once you have entered, should you wish to, you can update your personal "project" record on Coverfly with supporting materials, which may enhance your personal profile on Coverfly and facilitate other opportunities in the future.
