2009 Screenwriters Lab applications available online: February 15, 2008
Application deadline for U.S. filmmakers: May 1, 2008
Application deadline for international filmmakers: October 1, 2008
Project Selection
The Feature Film Program selects 20-25 projects each year to receive one or more areas of support. A combination of intensive year-round outreach, recommendations from a national network of program alumni, Creative Advisors, film school faculty, film festival staffs, producers, and other film professionals, and an open submissions process yield a pool of applicants from which the program's Fellows are selected. Historically, open submissions have provided roughly half of the total number of projects considered for the Labs.

KarmaCritic gets a makeover
K here.
Looks like KarmaCritic has a new look, and I like it, a lot! It's much lighter than the older version, and it's easier to read, which I'm sure everyone else loves, too.SUBLIM, the screenplay contest held by the good folks at KarmaCritic, seems to be getting a fair number of scripts, but from the loglines, I wonder how distinct they will be from one another? So far, we've got a couple of romances, some comedies, some fantasy, and (at least) 2 supernatural screenplays.
Interesting. At any rate, neither M nor I have joined KarmaCritic, but I'm going to try to join today or sometime soon when I get the chance to get everything together.
The deadline is October 2007. I wonder if more people are going to wait until then to submit? They won't get very many votes, though.

"On the Lot" members Move Out
K. here.
It seems we weren't the only ones disappointed with the way "On the Lot" has turned out. The disgruntled-ness (is that even a word?) has spilled on to the forums, where a secret friend of another secret friend informs us (and other Zoe members) that there have been mass "...deleting or editing of our blogs, our posts, film comments...", with a deactivation list that reads "like a who's who ".
Enter KarmaCritic, a website created by filmmakers that got together in the "On the Lot" online community.
Also, from the website:
"This is KarmaCritic's 1st Annual Screenwriting Development Contest. Round 1 starts with a simple 1-page synopsis and the first 5 pages of your screenplay. Round 2 moves on to a treatment and the first 30 pages, round 3 is the full feature-length script. Judges are high powered hollywood producer Tova Laiter (Die Hard 3, Glory, Evita, etc), Jon Brown (represents De Souza, Orr, T.J Scott and Kevin Lund), as well as a special figure too high to disclose publicly at this time. The prize is a professional relationship with them!"
Cheesy references to a high up "mystery judge" aside, it sounds like a really good venture, should you be interested.
The only drawback to this "community" is that only filmmakers--that is, people who have already made a film--are allowed to join.
I wasn't aware that screenwriters weren't a part of the filmmaking industry, but however they want to run it, that's cool.
Funny enough, there's a screenwriting competition: SUBLIM. Check it out.

Just a bit of news
K here.
Once in a while, an opportunity comes up that's too good to pass. This, my friends, is one of them. Think you could have written a better script than Pirates the Third demi-Gods Ted Elliot and Terry Rossio? Convinced Shonda Rhimes has been stealing ideas from your incredible, undiscovered, hour-long teleplay about hot doctors with even hotter love lives?
Then it's time to put your money where your mouth is.
Disney and ABC will be accepting screenplays, plays and teleplays for the Disney/ABC Writing Fellowship in both the screenplay and teleplay categories. For more information, check it out here. There is also a directing and acting section, but sorry folks, the Production section deadline has passed.
And for all you writers out there, check out Wordplay, and awesome site by two of the above mentioned writers.
