THE 2008 BLUECAT SCREENWRITING LAB

EARLY BIRD SUBMISSIONS: If you enter a screenplay between May 7th-21st, you may submit an additional script at no charge.

Starting May 7th, submissions for the 2008 BlueCat Screenwriting Lab, held March 16-23, 2008 in Los Angeles, will be open. Short and Feature length screenplays are welcome.

All screenplays entered for consideration will be evaluated for narrative promise, emotional impact, original voice and personal spirit.

Based on these criteria, three writers will be named BlueCat Fellows and flown to Los Angeles for one week of intense development in the home of the motion picture industry, all expenses paid. In addition, each Fellow will receive $1000.

Working with professionals of the motion picture industry, the BlueCat Screenwriting Lab Week will focus on your goals of your screenplay, while helping you shape and define your identity as a screenwriter and an artist of cinema.

*Rewrite mentoring with veteran screenwriters

*Roundtable sessions with producers
*Workshop with professional actors
*Brainstorming with Below-the-line Crew
*Pitching work with development executives
