This partnership allows Final Draft to add to its Big Break contest prize package a mentoring component which sets its contest apart from the sea of others. While Big Break has always awarded its finalists with substantial cash and prizes, including industry meetings for the top three winners, the contest has never before offered a year-long industry mentorship as part of its grand-prize winner package. CineStory will also invite the top three Big Break finalists to participate in CineStory's annual retreat in Idyllwild. At the CineStory retreat, writers meet with several retreat mentors to discuss their script submissions and possible personal pathways to a professional life in the business. At the conclusion of the three-day retreat, the Big Break contest winner will select two industry mentors with whom they will work for one year. "We're pleased about this new partnership and how it aligns with our goal to support emerging creative talent. I am excited to add a mentorship component to the Big Break's prestigious industry exposure and cash rewards, says Liz Alani, Final Draft's Contest and Events Director. Big Break offers early registration incentives. Electronic submissions encouraged. About Final Draft, Inc. Final Draft, Inc. was founded in 1991 to develop a scriptwriting program that allows the writer to concentrate on the creative process and not on Hollywood's stringent formatting rules. Since then, Final Draft has become the Hollywood professional's choice and the world's #1-selling scriptwriting program. In 2006, Final Draft acquired Script magazine and its ancillary events and services. Contest info: Final Draft's Big Break International © Copyright 2003 by www.filmmakers.com |
