Life Changing Information For Aspiring Screenwriters And Filmmakers
Are you an aspiring screenwriter or filmmaker? Do you have an awesome idea for a movie, but just don’t have any industry experience or know where to turn to for help? Perhaps you’re looking for your first big break? If you answered yes to these questions then there is some great news to share with you. There is a company called Get It Made that is by far your best opportunity to break into the film industry. The founders of Get It Made have been in your shoes. They feel your pain. They genuinely want to help you get produced and succeed at doing exactly what you love.
Get It Made can help you turn your dream into a reality. At this point you’re probably wondering how all of this works. So, without further ado, here is some life changing information for people who would like to become a produced screenwriter or filmmaker. With Get It Made, you actually have two groundbreaking opportunities. First and foremost, you can enter the company’s annual production-based script competition, Get It Made (now on Season 07), which is far different than any other competition that you may have taken part in as well as their guaranteed path to production through Get It Made X, a development slate that produces multiple films per year only for selected screenwriters. Either path will get you closer to production and every screenwriter knows that 99% of screenplay competitions never actually end in production. But Get It Made does.
Get It Made knows first hand that the world of screenplay competitions is incredibly flawed. For example, less than 1% actually produce movies, and very few gifted screenwriters receive any real benefits by entering. The annual Get It Made script production competition works differently. Here’s how. Write and submit a short screenplay (Proof of Concept) that sets up the theme of your full-length script. The competition panel will select the top 100 entries. Even if your Proof of Concept isn’t chosen in the top 100 you’ll still receive incredibly helpful feedback from industry professionals.
From the top 100, the field is narrowed down to the top 10. Each of the top 10 Proof of Concepts will receive valuable production based prizes. An ultimate winner is chosen from the top 10 Proof of Concepts. The grand prize is truly something special. In essence, the winner will get to see his or her script go from the Proof of Concept stage to production, editing, and final delivery with a known industry creative. This presents an amazing opportunity for people who are trying to showcase the potential of their scripts on the big screen.
The other path to production that Get It Made offers is a unique membership based program where you will learn, connect, and grow as a screenwriter with an extensive network of one-on-one feedback loops from industry pros. The Get It Made X membership program presents non-WGA writers with an incredible opportunity to actually have their scripts produced by industry professionals that incorporate the highest Hollywood based standards. Get It Made X, or GIMx for short, consists of a community of screenwriters who have each been personally selected for the program. The philosophy behind this is that when you belong to a community it greatly improves your overall happiness, health, and motivation and the writers on the GIMx slate only have to contend with each other for the funds to produce their proof of concept films, making the odds far more favorable than any other competition or platform out there.
Husband and wife team Matt And Sylvie Boda founded Get It Made in 2018 and launched Get It Made X in January of 2020 and have produced/greenlit more than 8 projects in their first year and half through that program alone. Get It Made is also on it’s 7th season! That’s more than 14 films in 3 years whereas other competitions haven’t made a single film in all their years. These people really make movies and now there is finally a solution to the lonesome journey of being a screenwriter fighting against impossible odds.
