OUR SCREENPLAY CONTESTS

Shore attached EMMY Winning director Ben Tricklebank to Jonny’s feature-winning screenplay, LAND’S END. Starcross Entertainment are now onboard to produce the feature film.

Shore set up Jacob’s winning feature script with roster judge, director Patrick Lussier (Drive Angry, Terminator Genisys). “I have such a long list of great things to say about Shore Scripts and the wonderful people that run this competition. I’m just so grateful for the introduction to Patrick, and can’t wait to see what happens next with my script.” Following his win, Jacob is now repped by Andrew Wilson at Wonder Street Entertainment.

Their winning script THE ASSESSMENT was picked up by our Feature Contest Judge, Oscar Nom Producer Stephen Woolley who developed the project with FILM4. Filming is to start later this year, starring Alicia Vikander and Elizabeth Olsen.

“Winning Shore Scripts has been a wonderful and career-changing experience. It’s opened doors we simply couldn’t have opened ourselves. Shore has shown us that the career we’ve always wanted is possible.”

Shore was involved in setting up Louis Ackerman’s feature script, Flesh & Blood, with industry roster company, Blumhouse. The film was produced and released on HULU in 2019. We also set Louis up with a talent agent Dench Arnold in the UK and a manager in the US.

“Shore Scripts has literally put me on such a life and career-changing trajectory. I’m so grateful to you and the team. I continue, to this day, to tell my writing friends to enter with their work because it’s the best decision I ever made with my writing.”

Alice was a second-placed Feature Winner. She had offers of representation from two Agents and Managers on our Industry Roster. She has since gone on to direct the NETFLIX show SEX EDUCATION.

“Thanks again for everything – Shore opened up so many doors!”

Beth was our Feature Winners. We introduced her to a number of managers, one of which was Elevate Ent who she has now signed with. Her winning feature, Moonflower, has been picked up by Oscar Nominated producer, Todd Black.

“Shore Scripts is in a category all of its own. After I won, they sent out my script to industry professionals that I would’ve never had access to. They have incredible industry connections, but more importantly, they have industry respect.

Melody’s script THE SOUND OF DARKNESS was shortlisted in our Feature Contest. In 2021, she completed the 2021 Sundance Episodic Lab and has been selected for an Adobe Women at Sundance Fellowship. She’s gone on to write TV episodes for TWO SENTENCE HORROR STORIES, and LAW AND ORDER: SVU. Melody has been tapped by Netflix to adapt the new novel BEASTS OF PREY. She is represented by CAA.

“It’s always great to have validation from a contest like Shore Scripts early in your career to know you’re on the right track and should keep writing and honing and not give up. It can be the light at the end of the tunnel!”
