Announcing the 8th Annual Sci-Fi/Fantasy Screenwriting Contest

Hey, Stage 32 Community!
A great sci-fi/fantasy movie or TV show captivates audiences by seamlessly blending rich and imaginative worlds with relatable characters, thought-provoking futuristic themes, and groundbreaking storytelling. Classic science fiction franchises like STAR TREK or STAR WARS are some of the most watched series of all time, in both the film and television spaces. Current shows like SEVERANCE, HOUSE OF THE DRAGON, and DOCTOR WHO have fans waiting on the edge of their couches for a new season. Audiences are always ready for that next sci-fi/fantasy hit -- and we want it be YOURS!
