Announcing Stage 32’s "THAT’S A MOVIE!" Logline Contest: The Sequel

That’s right! The Stage 32 “THAT’S A MOVIE!” Logline Contest is back and (cue movie trailer guy's voice) "THIS TIME, IT’S PERSONAL…" We're coming back with even bigger opportunities for our winning screenwriters!

You might have written the most original and revolutionary feature script or TV Pilot ever conceived. But if you don’t have an effective logline, your script may never break out in this crowded market! Why?

Because every major player in Hollywood routinely hears hundreds of ideas and makes quick decisions based on loglines. This single sentence dictates the uniqueness of the project, shows the bones of your story’s structure, and both your “vision” and “voice” as a writer. You need to boil down your entire narrative, your protagonist’s journey, the obstacles, and the stakes all into a single sentence.

And if after hearing your logline, an industry professional says, “That’s a movie!”, it is perhaps the best compliment a writer can receive.

Would your logline hit the jackpot with industry pros? Let’s find out!

In our never-ending mission to support the growth, education, and access of screenwriters all over the world, Stage 32 is thrilled to release our "THAT’S A MOVIE!" Logline Contest: The Sequel. Our September 2020 Logline Contest was such a success, we knew that there had to be a “Part Two”.

Click here to Enter your Logline for FREE!

So, throughout the month of March, you’re invited to submit your loglines for your original feature, TV pilot, or short film to our panel of industry judges comprising filmmakers, producers, managers, and executives. And it’s absolutely FREE to enter!

And just like last time, an esteemed panel of industry professionals will review each logline, offer their expert opinion and pitch their favorites LIVE every Friday throughout April & collectively decide whether or not “That’s a Movie!” (or a series, or a short).

The writers of the winning loglines will receive exciting prizes including FREE PITCH SESSIONS, FREE 30-min & 60-min CONSULTATION CALLS, FREE PREMIUM & STUDIO COVERAGE and more from Stage 32!

Just how impactful was our first "That's a Movie" logline contest? It ended up getting a writer signed! Zach Tirone has his logline selected by prolific manager Andrew Wilson of Wonder Street Entertainment during our contest! That selection led to a consultation call between Zach and Andrew - and Andrew later signed Zach to representation!

“This happened because of Stage 32. Had I not been one of the winners of the Stage 32 logline contest, in which Andrew selected one of my scripts, he would not have been so clearly on my radar. This led to a consultation call with him about one of my true crime TV pilots, “The Westies”. Andrew very graciously responded to my writing and after some discussion, he offered to sign me as a client. We are now working on putting together The Westies as a Wonder Street project!"

As you can see, there is nothing to lose and everything to gain! This contest is FREE to enter and you are able to make as many entries as you like! But remember, you only have until March 31st to submit your logline. Our first webcast in which we announce the winners is April 16th.
