Where finished scripts meet the people who make films.
Production companies and filmmakers across 150+ countries are looking for their next script.
MoviExpa Script Contest exists to put yours in front of them: read, evaluated, and introduced to industry, with a real path to development and sale.
Every submitted screenplay is read by our team and assessed by a professional jury of award-winning filmmakers, producers, and acquisition professionals. The strongest are selected, showcased, and introduced to filmmakers and production companies.
Why Submit your script?
Our contest doesn't end with a laurel.
MoviExpa is built to take your script somewhere.
🔹 A real read, not just a rating. Every selected script receives a Festival Opinion, a professional evaluation of your concept, craft, and market potential.
🔹 Real audience validation. Your script's excerpt is read and voted on by a registered audience of film lovers and industry readers, and you receive a free Audience Feedback Report.
🔹 In front of the industry. Selected loglines and opening pages are presented to producers and directors in our network, and, if you want, we can take your script further through producer outreach.
🔹 Awards that mean something. Format and genre honors, the Readers' Choice, and the Festival Winner chosen by the live audience in Tbilisi & worldwide.
🔹 A path beyond the contest. Selected writers can continue with our packaging and producer-outreach services, optional, and always non-exclusive.
