Award: 1.2 Million Dollars the largest prize ever offered for filmmakers!
Other Awards/Prizes:
Filmmakers are to submit a 1000-word synopsis of their story; no film scripts should be submitted. The grant is provided on the basis of the story's central theme. Tecyhlon requests that all story submissions should be considered “transcendental” in our hopes to find the sacred script that can also change the way films are created.

Tecyhlon is asking filmmakers to submit their script synopsis for a world wide search for “The Sacred Script”.

The grant is provided by Quadritex, whose goal is to immerse itself into the media and entertainment market and make globally conscious films, to offer an alternative to the usual fare of the Hollywood system of making movies, while giving an incentive for new filmmakers to be consciously driven in their art and films.

President Donald Irving “Tecyhlon Film Productions is honored to have Oprah Winfrey as the presenter of the awards ceremony for the 1st Annual “The Search for the Sacred Script” screen play contest. Oprah has influenced every medium that she's touched and we are very proud to have Oprah as the presenter of the 1.2 Million Dollar grant provided by Quadritex and the Rockefeller Foundation”

  Oprah Winfrey; “I have always believed that films can and should make a difference in the world, and I am so pleased to be a part of something that I feel very fond of something that is close to my heart.

A search for a sacred film not only provides a way for all the unrecognized artist that have so much talent to give a chance to make their film, but also allows those who dream, those who want to make a difference in the world the chance to believe in the power of films.”
