Hey, Stage 32 Community!

The Biggest Family Friendly Screenplay Contest in the World is Back!

Ever dreamt of seeing your feature film script come to life on the big screen or streaming on TVs in living rooms across the country? This is your chance to turn that dream into reality! Family friendly stories bring everyone together for fun, bonding, and entertainment. From the sheer delight of THE GARFIELD MOVIE to the relentless hi-jinx of KUNG FU PANDA and the emotional depth of IF, audiences can’t get enough. This year alone, films like INSIDE OUT 2 and DESPICABLE ME 4 have topped the box office. The appetite for scintillating family-friendly stories is insatiable, and we want your story to be the next smash hit!

Stage 32 is proud to present the 3rd Annual Family Friendly Screenwriting Contest!

If you have a family friendly story that needs to be told, now is the time to show us what you've got, because our goal is to amplify your voice, give you the access Stage 32 is known for, and take your writing career to the next level!
