Short Stories to Video

We are looking for short stories written by HS students from Snohomish County or North King County, to turn into short little movies.

Some guidelines before submitting:

• Not religious or political.
• No swearing. We will edit the story if necessary.
• No sci-fi or "period" stories. Props or costumes become an issue.
• No exotic locations. Property release not needed
• Actors can be juniors or less. If adults, should be related to students involved (simplifies legal issues).
• We will write the screenplay, supply music, and sound effects if needed.
• Once completed we will register the production with the Writers Guild of America.
• Rule of Thumb: 1 page of dialog = 1 minute of screen time
• Looking to keep length at about 5 minutes
• Can even be a single funny family event
• This "movie" is only 1:41 minutes long
• Let's keep is safe. No crazy stunts.
• Want to start production in the fall
• Not expecting students to "write a movie", just submit a story

This is a totally artistic endeavor. It will always remain YOUR story.

If you have any questions just send us an email before submitting your story. To submit, send as an attachment to your email as a MS Word file or PDF.

BTW we are also looking for a grade school age boy (9-12) that plays the piano for a little movie we want to do. If you know someone that fits the bill, have his parents contact us.
