WELCOME TO BLASTOFF
GREAT PRIZES + SUBMISSIONS TO HOLLYWOOD EXECUTIVES
A 1st place feature screenplay with an aggregate score above 8.4 wins $500 and will be submitted to at least 2 Hollywood executives for their consideration.
A 1st place short-screenplay or TV-script with an aggregate score above 8.4 wins $250.
Our top-scoring film, short or feature, with an aggregate score above 7.3 wins $250.
ALL SCREENPLAY SUBMISSIONS, 10 pages and longer, receive detailed coverage, with (as appropriate) notes on the great aspects of the script, and pointers as to how a rewrite might improve chances of a production deal.
At BLASTOFF we thoroughly score your film across AT LEAST 5 crucial categories, and for add-in submissions (best director, cinematographer, actors, music, stunts, VFX etc.) 23 possible categories, to arrive at a comprehensive assessment of the work. We’ve found that winners in add-in category submissions usually make for exciting viewing, and are strong contenders for screening selection.

... and to our SCREENWRITERS...
EVERY submission receives insightful written coverage. Use our notes to make a good script great. We submit professional queries, on behalf of high-scoring writers, to Hollywood agents, producers, and/or executives for evaluation.
Want to have access to tools which are used by some of the most successful entertainment companies and Universities around the world, including Disney, BBC, Marvel, EA, SEGA, Microsoft, Harvard University, AFI, New York Film Academy, USC School of Cinematic Arts, Princeton University, and so many, many more? Well, now you can. Our awards include copies of the absolutely remarkable film-crafting software packages Causality, and DramaQueen, and subscriptions to the world-renowned InkTip, where producers go to find great scripts!
The BLASTOFF Virtual Village
BLASTOFF has its own channel which allows us to roll out those regular virtual screenings (followed by live Q&A sessions with filmmakers, when appropriate), pre-release promotions, and many other creative presentations to help you on your path to success. Apart from the exposure, such a screening would qualify your film as a “Nominee”, and entitle you to display the beautiful custom-designed laurel on your poster, BEFORE the season ends. We also issue our “nominee” laurels YEAR-ROUND to exceptional, high-scoring films. That award qualifies your film for consideration in our final winners’ pool.
Our screening model, in total, gives you so much more potential exposure than a single, live screening (although that’s a thrill not to be downplayed) to an enormous movie-loving public, to your fans and followers, and to people who may want to work with you on future projects.
And let’s not forget the industry movers and shakers who sit up and take notice, like producers, directors, potential investors, agents, great actors, and terrific crew members. Talent and success are magnets for industry people! It’s a chance to skyrocket your credibility and respect in the industry! Call it BLASTOFF EXPOSURE.
SONGWRITERS, COMPOSERS, SOUND DESIGNERS, STUNTMEN, CINEMATOGRAPHERS, AND SO MANY MORE WHO MAKE A FILM POSSIBLE
