The Inciting Incident is
Sinema Media’s inaugural screenplay competition, in partnership with casting agency
Hello Group, acting school
Method Acting Asia, publishing house
Epigram Books and online interactive and fundraising platform
Premise.
It aims to encourage screenwriters to shake off their hesitation, flesh out their stories and put them into the world. It's also an opportunity to spotlight emerging talents in this under-recognised and under-appreciated craft.
The competition will be held in four rounds, one for each quarter of the year in 2020. In each round, a genre will be announced, ten finalists will be chosen, and subsequently, three winners will be decided. At the end of the competition, all finalist screenplays will be collected and published in a print collection.
Contestants are to submit an original English-language screenplay for a 3 - 5 minute short film based on this quarter’s genre of
COMEDY.
Submission period ends on
2359hrs (GMT +8) 6 February 2020 (Thursday). There is a S$5.00 entry fee per screenplay. For full details and to submit entries, visit the competition’s official website at:
