"By becoming a finalist, I got a free pass to all of the screenings and panels the festival had to offer, which was amazing. And by winning, I have grown more confident in myself as a writer and I have found an agent to get my material out there. Winning that competition was an honor I'll never forget. All you have to lose is a few bucks, but what you have to potentially gain is a chance to launch your writing career..." -Todd Linden, 2006 Teleplay Sitcom Winner
"My impression of the AFF is that it's one of the few competitions that can get some attention for scripts that advance. And you don't need to win the competition to have some great results. So when I felt I had a script that was worth sending out, the AFF was on my short list.." -Dwayne McKenzie, 2006 Screenplay Competition Semi-Finalist
This year's Screenplay Competition has two primary categories: Adult/FamilyCategory (Historical, Western, Drama, Family, Romance, Horror, Thriller, etc.) and/or Comedy Category (Dark, Satirical, Slapstick, and more).
Returning this year, entrants have the opportunity to have their script considered for the sponsored award and the Sci-Fi Award (fantasy, horror, science fiction, surrealism, myth/legend and fantastical storytelling).
