CONTEST TOPIC
Action films have come a long way from the stories of maverick police officers like Dirty Harry or The French Connection, or the hero-centric 90’s blockbusters of Arnold Schwarzenneger and Sylvester Stallone. Continuously pushing the envelope with elaborate action sequences, impossible car chases, big explosions, and even bigger budgets, action films have one purpose only: to entertain and excite audiences. And with the advent of modern special effects and CGI, action films are only limited by the imagination of the screenwriter. So if you’re a fan of this genre, this contest is for you. We want you to write an action-filled short film screenplay that gets us cheering for the hero, and marveling at their death-defying physical feats. Just be sure to read the contest guidelines. Happy writing and hasta la vista baby!
