Amazon Studios Competition: logline to script
Here’s how it works
• Writers of the top five pitches will get $10,000 each to produce a 10–page treatment – a more detailed version of the story. • The writer of the best treatment will get a chance to write a first draft (which pays $40,000) and a second draft (which pays another $25,000). Throughout the process, the selected writers will get feedback and advice from the Amazon Studios Story Department. • Proposals will be evaluated by the Amazon Studios development staff for quality and creativity. We will request feature writing samples from selected writers by December 21, 2011, and based on the pitch and writing sample, we will evaluate and notify selected writers by mid–January 2012. |
