Four by Twenty I wanted to thank the office staff for helping me navigate meetings and calls with the TV development execs I met with the finance firm. They were professional and concerned at all times. I’m excited to keep moving forward and appreciate the opportunity. Keep up the great work!

I enjoyed it very much. Great insights shared! It was a “keep your eye on the ball,” session, stressing that if you want to work with investors, make it good for them… instead of just selling your no doubt excellent screenplay. I left the call feeling enthused, optimistic and ready to fire the after burners. That call made everything about CFSC more than worth it to me.

Not Yours to Give

The financier and I had a very enjoyable discussion of my project and my hopes and dreams for the script and again, I am very grateful to have had the chance to visit with him. He was incredibly kind and complimentary of my work and I appreciate his encouraging remarks.

The finance company rep requested synopses and art work for three of my projects to present to one of his contacts. He answered my other questions about the business in a thoughtful encouraging way. Thank you for providing this opportunity to speak with a seasoned industry professional.

I want to express my sincerest gratitude to everyone for selecting my feature screenplay Seriah’s Legacy to be a part of the Capital Fund Screenplay Competition. I couldn’t believe it when I saw that I was selected to be included in the Top 10, alongside the other great writers. This is an honor that words cannot describe.

Thank you very much. The executive was very approachable, easy to speak with and very interested in my script and what I had to say as a writer. I learned what his company was looking for, the interests of his investors and the direction they were looking to take. Very professional all around – thank you.

It was really great to have the opportunity to talk with such a high profile professional. It’s not easy to have access to someone who really can make the difference to your career and I’m really glad about it.

Thank you.

My finance professional meeting prize was both rewarding and enjoyable. I was amazed at the depth of knowledge and expertise shared with me. Very much appreciated is the unique opportunity the Capital Fund Screenplay Competition provides for screenwriters to speak directly with people who have  the money to fund project production.

Trucker Chix

On behalf of myself and my co-writers, we want to thank you for the great opportunity to submit our script Trucker Chix to the contest and be read. To win in the Top Ten Finalists was beyond our hopes and then given the opportunity to speak with a Financial Professional was invaluable.

First, I want to thank you and everyone involved with the Capital Fund Screenplay Competition.   It’s turning into a wonderful opportunity and I hope something comes out of this that’ll make your people feel like I was a good choice.  I would also ask you to pass my thanks on to the financier with whom I had a terrific exchange today.

I was thrilled to speak with the financier, completely got my project…Thanks so much again for such a fabulous and productive competition!

G’day all,

It was a pleasure meeting you yesterday and thank you so much for providing the incredible platform for the writers, which lead for us to be invited to be part of their creative world they had imagined for years.

A Truly magical experience thank you. And if I end up going to MIP TV in the next couple of weeks, I will definitely be in touch or bump into you on La Croisette in Cannes  🙂

Thanks CFSC – superb. It was so informative to hear what a film investor thinks about my work because it is not something we often get to hear and that he’d been interested in reading more of my work really gave me a boost of confidence and confirmed that I am on the right path, as difficult as it is sometimes.

I was totally blown away by my financier. He was warm, helpful, and generous with information and guidance. I believe this was possibly the best possible prize for any contest winner. I feel that I learned a tremendous amount and made a valuable connection.

I know I’m just a short film writer but this experience has charged me up to jump into features. Meeting all the other writers at Warner was awesome and the contacts and consideration of the finance people is great.

Time Release

The table read was fantastic! With the producers, directors and investors there listening was access I could have never gotten on my own- and it was all set up for me hah. All I had to do was sit at the head of the room and feel like a star for the day with real industry people from the major studios at my side.

Capital Fund Screenwriting Competition provides tremendous opportunities for developing screenwriters and their fulfillment as professionals.  By placing our work in the hands of investors and financiers around the world, CFSC leaps over the usual barriers to script marketing and sends promising scripts directly to the decision makers.  What a concept!

Dear CFSC, I was so happy with the prize and it helped pay bills for sure but the real win was the option and working with the producer and investor learning the development ropes. Thank you for all the work you do in helping us reach goals that take years for so many if they are lucky enough to even get there.

My thanks for creating the Capital Fund Screenplay Competition and giving us writers a way to get our work directly into the hands of those who love movies and also have the means to fund them. I feel this is one of the best run and most significant of any of the newer screenwriting competitions that have come along in recent years.

With most screenwriting contests, you might win a few bucks and get a lot of “likes” on your Facebook page. With Capital Fund Screenwriting Competition, you get direct access to people who have money and are looking for scripts. Now that’s a winner’s contest!
