At M Film Lab, 
    your screenplay gets more than a read—it gets developed! Six selected writers work one-on-one with experienced industry mentors to sharpen their screenplays. One standout wins a two-year option agreement, 
    a $1,500 option fee, 
    and a development track toward a produced short film. Open to writers anywhere, 
    of any background. If you have a story only you can tell, 
    tell it here.
