WHAT TO SUBMIT
Tracks — Two Ways To Enter.
3–20 min genre pilot
Pilot Track
Create a complete AI short or pilot episode. One rule: tell a story that makes people want episode two.
We look for:
A clear world, a memorable lead, cinematic pacing, and a Canvas workflow worth cloning.
45–90 min AI feature screenplay
Script Track
Write the film you want to see made. One rule: make us see the movie before it exists.
We look for:
An original world with real emotional stakes and a story ready to go into production.
Eligible Genres
Three Directions, Both Tracks.
Under the Skin
Drama, Comedy, Coming-of-Age, Social RealismThe quietest stories hit the hardest. A first love. A family secret. A summer that changed everything. Start with something real — then let it become something more.
Worlds Beyond
Sci-Fi, Fantasy, Supernatural, MythologyA shop that sells memories. A planet where music is illegal. A god who forgot what she created. Start with an impossible idea — then make us believe it.
Edge of Seat
Horror, Thriller, Mystery, Crime, Action, Adventure, SurvivalFirst rule: never let them breathe. Survival games, locked rooms, last stands, wrong turns. Pure genre energy — the kind that pins you to the screen.
