of what your project will be beyond the pages of a script.
That requires a visual representation of your concept, characters, and storyline.
Pitch decks, sizzle reels, or full movie trailers are no longer the exception.

Sizzle Reel-Trailer-Pitchdeck Contest?

Why do so many writers and filmmakers trust the judges at
The Palm Springs International Screenplay Awards
&
Sizzle Reel-Trailer-Pitchdeck Contest?
If you want honest "feedback' of your work, this is where you can get it. (unlike other competitions that fling out opinionated responses and label it "feedback") the Palm Springs Awards easily eclipses all the other competitions with their Producer Notes on both my script and my pitch deck. ~~ Frank Brotman, Las Vegas, NV |
