Announcing the 3rd Annual Romantic Comedy Screenwriting Contest
Announcing the 3rd Annual Romantic Comedy Screenwriting Contest
In a classic romantic comedy, two unlikely individuals find themselves entangled in a series of humorous and endearing mishaps as they navigate the unpredictable journey of love, ultimately discovering that true happiness lies in each other's company. All-time classics like SLEEPLESS IN SEATTLE and NOTTING HILL remind us of the lengths to which we'll go for true love, while saccharine love stories like WHEN HARRY MET SALLY and YOU'VE GOT MAIL remind us that love is sometimes just around the corner. And don't forget about the modern takes thrilling audiences around the world in recent years, like LOVE AGAIN, EMILY IN PARIS, and ANYONE BUT YOU. Audiences are always ready for that next Rom-Com movie hit -- and we want it to be YOURS!
If you have a Romantic Comedy 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!
