[Press release from Independent Pictures.]
Independent Pictures, the parent
organization that brings the Ohio Independent Film Festival to
Cleveland each year, announces the call for entries for the 2013 Ohio
Independent Screenplay Awards contest. Aspiring writers have a chance
to win one of three awards: Best Screenplay; Best North Coast
Screenplay (set in or about Cleveland) or Best Voice of Color
Screenplay (written by or about people of color). Early deadline for
the contest is July 1, 2013. Entrants are encouraged to visit
www.withoutabox.com for full details including submission fees and
all deadlines. Writers can also receive information by sending an
email to ohiofilms@yahoo.com . Winners will be announced during the
2013 Ohio Independent Film Festival, which celebrates its 20th year
of programs, November 7-10, 2013.
Every screenplay submitted receives
personal feedback to the writer, which are read by a seasoned panel
of judges from the Cleveland area and across the US. In the past,
winning OISA screenplays have gone on to be optioned or produced into
full-length feature films; additionally, winning writers have gone on
to successful Hollywood careers, as is the case of Karyn Usher,
writer of Small Things Considered/ 1999 winning screenplay. Ms. Usher
has written for and produced the well-known TV series Prison Break
and Bones and most recently, the latest Rodrigo Garcia (Six Feet
Under, In Treatment) feature, Delirium.
Entrants need not have previous
professional experience; however, all screenplays must be
professionally-formatted and ideally, no more than 100 pages in
length. Submit your screenplays today!
