- Sci-fi, paranormal, mystery, thriller, horror genre fans.
OBJECTIVE:
Our goal is to produce low budget, theatrical quality genre films that will engage a global audience.
GUIDELINES:
Creators should take note of similar properties to show an understanding of the demographic and also to confirm their property will stand out in the market. Existing examples:
Screenplays are to be 85-110 pages and should demonstrate a high degree of originality, including clever use of limited locations and limited cast. Wild Media is looking for screenplays in the following genres: sci-fi, paranormal, horror, mystery and/or thriller. Wild Media is NOT looking for screenplays in the slasher/torture genre.
PITCH DELIVERABLES:
In addition to a screenplay, the applicant is expected to deliver a 2-4 page pitch document, which will include both a logline and synopsis. Additionally, the pitch document may include the applicant’s approach to the material, including an overview of the tone, themes and brief character descriptions. We welcome artwork if available. For applicants without supporting artwork, we would encourage submitting a mood board that incorporates borrowed images to demonstrate the overall tone of the film.
If available, additional supporting materials is encouraged, including a financing and/or business plan, draft budget, attached talent such as a director and/or cast, as well as any funding that might be secured.
PROCESS:
Step 2 – Once your Release Form is confirmed and verified, you will receive an email stating so and that you can now send in your screenplay (PDF Format) & additional deliverables.
EVALUATION:
Screenplays will be evaluated based on:
- How well the project aligns with our mandate.
- How unique is the project? Will it stand out in the marketplace?
- The extent to which we are excited or surprised by the content.
- The extent to which elements of the concept or the personality of the characters move us.
- The extent to which the pitch includes ideas that can engage audiences well beyond their initial viewing experience.
- The quality and professionalism of the submission.
- The totality of the submission.
We aim to reach out to applicants with a verdict on their screenplay as quickly as possible, but depending on how many screenplays we have in the pipeline this is not always a guarantee.
