2008 Awards Entry Deadline:
October 31, 2008
The Fade In Awards were established in 1996 to assist talented new writers and writer/directors in getting recognized within the Hollywood community in order to begin a career as a working filmmaker.
In the last decade, the competition has done just that: After Jon Bokenkamp entered his thriller Preston Tylk, we signed him with ICM, he was hired to write a feature for director William Friedkin, has since directed Tylk and sold his documentary After Sunset to AMC. Bokenkamp, after writing a feature for Julia Roberts and another for Halle Berry, received sole credit on Taking Lives starring Angelina Jolie. After Josh Gordin and Will Speck entered their short Culture, both signed with ICM, Culture was nominated for an Academy Award™ and they just directed Will Ferrell in Blades of Glory. After Darryl Wimberley entered his noir Kaleidoscope, we signed him with ICM. He now has a two-book deal with St. Martin’s Press. And after George Olson entered his script Tesla, we signed him with Endeavor. You could be next.
Finalists of the 2008 Fade In Awards will be announced March 31, 2009. Over $15,000 in prizes will be awarded thereafter, including the Grand Prize and up to 16 finalists.
Grand Prize winner will receive an iMac Computer, plus an expense paid trip (hotel and airfare) to meet with top literary agents and studio executives for three days and two nights (or cash equivalent).
Fade In Magazine reserves the right to grant less than or no awards, at its sole discretion, if a lesser number of, or no entries meet the submission requirements and/or industry standards of excellence.
