SUBMISSIONS

Great work can come from anywhere.

SUBMISSIONS POLICY

The film industry traditionally operates under a strict policy of not accepting unsolicited material. We take a different view.

We believe great work can come from anywhere—and that writers deserve to be heard, respected, and protected.

For that reason, we do accept unsolicited screenplay and script submissions, provided your work has been registered prior to submission with the Writers Guild of America (WGA) Registry.

Registering your screenplay establishes a dated record of authorship, documenting when your work was completed and helping protect your material in a clear, non-adversarial way. This allows us to review submissions responsibly while respecting your creative ownership.

Once submitted, selected projects may be considered for development and packaging, including preparation for presentation to artists, studios, producers, and production companies.

REQUIRED BEFORE SUBMISSION

Please register your work with the WGA Registry before submitting it to us.

You may also choose to register your work with the Library of Congress, U.S. Copyright Office. While WGA registration documents authorship, it does not replace copyright registration, which primarily documents ownership and rights. Both forms of registration can serve as legal evidence if required. For specific copyright questions, we recommend contacting the Library of Congress directly.

WHY REGISTRATION MATTERS

When you register your script before submitting it to contests, agents, managers, producers—or to us—you create a dated, verifiable record of authorship. In the event of unauthorized use, the WGA Registry can produce this material as evidence should legal action ever be initiated.

You stay protected. We stay ethical. Great work gets a chance to move forward.
