What can we create when we explore the vastness of science? Nearly anything. Science Fiction stories help us imagine what could be possible through science, and lets us create awe-inspiring and fascinating new ideas and events that we haven’t yet experienced in our natural world. So have fun with those aliens, rocket ships, laser guns, future (or past) tech, alternate dimensions, scientific phenomena, quantum physics, mutations, artificial intelligence, time travel, and anything else you can dream up. Keep in mind that Sci-Fi stories do NOT have to be set in the future – plenty of science fiction was created in- and can be applied to the past and present. Create a 10-minute or less screenplay for your chance to win cash prizes and the possibility to be produced. Don’t forget to think outside the box and come up with something we haven’t seen before!

Open Screenplay has partnered with Layla Care to shed light on the journey of being a student and navigating mental health in the school setting. The university or college setting can be a place of many firsts - first love, first time living away, first time navigating a major life event or traumatic experience or the first time coping with life stresses on your own. We invite you to write a 10-minute short film screenplay, and you are free to explore the subject of mental health in a college setting without limitations. Some ideas that could be considered are: What does it look like to be diagnosed with a mental illness while at university? How does being in school create additional challenges for your mental health? What types of grassroots initiatives are you involved in to raise awareness about mental health and stigma on campus? How has your school supported you or fell short to support when you were dealing with a mental health crisis? How has being a student felt more lonely during COVID-19? Share your story with us, to help guide and support others that can relate and see themselves in your story. **IMPORTANT:If you or someone you know is experiencing a mental health challenge, support is available.

With over a billion users worldwide, there is no denying that Tik Tok has taken the social media world by storm. What started off as a platform for young people to record short dance routines has quickly become a powerful storytelling tool for a generation of increasingly short attention spans. Now you can see 1-minute snippets of a story, and if it catches your attention, you find yourself clicking on part 2, which is the next 1-minute continuation, and part 3 and so on. For traditional storytellers it poses a unique challenge: is 60 seconds enough to capture the attention of a viewer enough that they want to watch more and more 60 second segments to get the complete story? This is the challenge we are posing to you. The best 3 screenplay will receive money to produce the short, and the top performing short will receive a top prize of $1,000 USD.

Admit it. You love a good romantic comedy. Rom-coms make us believe in love. They make us laugh AND cry. They always have a happy ending, and they make us feel like anything is possible! In this contest, we want you to channel the spirits of Meg Ryan and a young Tom Hanks, Julia Roberts & Richard Gere, or pretty much anything that starred Hugh Grant. Write us your best romantic comedy script, complete with a saccharine meet-cute. Set the romantic bar high, and the comedic bar higher, for a chance to win one of several cash prizes and a chance to get produced!

Short Film Romantic Comedy

Nothing adds intrigue to a film’s opening more than the phrase “Based on a true story”. While we may be aware that events are dramatized, the dialogue is mostly made up, timelines are condensed, and directors have taken liberties, films based on true stories provide us with a unique entertainment experience. True stories transport us to places in the past in a real and visceral way. They remind us that the events we’re about to see unfold on screen really did happen. And while we are immersed, our skepticism and our awe have to walk hand-in-hand. From historical epics like Ghandi, Schindler’s list, and Lawrence of Arabia, to modern day crime dramas like Goodfellas and Spotlight, some of the most powerful and celebrated films have been based on true events.
We are looking for a great short film script that is based on a true story that is dying to be told! It can be in any genre, time or place, as long as it's based on true events. The top 3 screenplays will win cash prizes, and the 1st prize winner will be considered for production.

Short Film True Story

It’s hard to define the thriller genre, but it’s easy to tell when you’re watching one. If you find yourself inching slowly toward the edge of your seat, your heartbeat is up a few beats, and you’ve squeezed the air out of a cushion you’re hugging, it's safe to say you’re watching a thriller. Suspense and a sense of tension is key, of course to a good thriller, and there are generally some recurrent themes such as murder, political intruige, espionge, conspiracy, criminal activity or psychological manipulation.
In this contest, we want you to bring out your inner Hitchcock and write a nail-biting screenplay. It can be about any subject you like as long as it gets our heart racing, and our inner sleuth guessing. Just be sure to stick to the guidelines. The top 3 screenplays will receive cash prizes, and the top screenplay will be considered for production!

Perhaps no other genre of film varies as much as drama. From war stories, courtroom or crime, to historical or biographies, dramas can emerge from almost any setting, so long as conflicts are intense and the stakes are high. A great drama transcends the screen and makes the audience feel what the characters are feeling, relate to their experiences, and learn their lessons.

Short Film Drama

They say that laughter is the best medicine; and after what we have collectively gone through over the last 18 months, we could certainly use some! Beyond the sheer enjoyment of a good laugh, comedy illuminates humanity like no other genre can. It shows us our greatest flaws and vulnerabilities, and allows us to examine the absurdities of our world with levity.

Short Film Comedy

If Orson Welles didn’t have Herman Mankiewicz would we have had Citizen Kane? If Martin Scorcese never met Nicholas Pileggi would we have Goodfellas and Casino? If Seth Rogan didn’t have Evan Goldberg would we have ever met McLovin? Needless to say that the right chemistry between collaborators can yield magic on the screen.  That’s why we invite you to find your great writing partner or partners, the Damon to your Affleck, and collaborate on a feature film together. You choose the genre, subject matter, and whether it’s public or private. Just make sure you work with at least one collaborator, and write it using our guided process (sorry folks, no uploads allowed for this one).

To swipe right or to swipe left? As technology rapidly disrupts the social fabric of our communities and cultures, some are finding themselves more and more alone, struggling to connect.

For decades, the mainstream media in the West has systematically stereotyped and vilified people of Arab origin. Such degradation of an entire people ultimately leads to their dehumanization. It is time to correct this narrative and dispel the various myths and stereotypes that have long unjustly followed this rich and diverse community.
