TWO WINNERS WILL BE CHOSEN TO HAVE THEIR PILOT SCRIPTS PRODUCED, EACH
WITH A BUDGET OF $5000. The writers will retain full rights over their story
and have the final say on any potential deals which may arise. Plus, each
winner will also receive $1000 Cash! Writing a podcast script (or even adapting your existing script for a
podcast) means fewer layers between your story and a potential audience of
millions. Did you know that each week more Americans listen to Podcasts
than have Netflix accounts! In 2021, 28% or 80 million Americans described
themselves as weekly Podcast listeners. That is 10 million more weekly Podcast
listeners than the 69 million Netflix account owners in the U.S.A. Many writers,
including our prestigious Judges, have forged writing careers for themselves
through Podcasts and Hollywood is taking
notice! A large number of podcasts have been adapted for television,
including Homecoming, Dirty John,
Limetown, Lore, and Blackout. We have some of the
most successful podcast creators onboard to judge our finalists and decide our
winners, including: Zack Akers – Limetown,
36 Questions Lauren Shippen –
Bridgewater, The Bright Sessions Terry Miles - The
Black Tapes, Tanis, Rabbits Nick Van Der Kolk -
Love and Radio Jonathan Mitchell -
The Truth Shore Scripts will
oversee the production of both episodes, making use of our industry connections
to find you a talented cast and crew. We will look to attach a named actor to
each episode to further help elevate the show and draw in an audience. Once
both episodes are live, we will also help you speak with production companies
in an attempt to green-light the season. This is a great opportunity to have your work produced and your voice
heard in this ever-growing industry. |
