The Beat
Jul 2, 2009

Seven years ago, the Office of Letters and Light Executive Director and NaNoWriMo founder Chris Baty created another high-velocity challenge: the 3-minute Film Festival.

Participants have the month of July to make a film that runs three minutes or less. The film must be submitted by July 31, and it's then screened at a black-tie gala on August 8!

Chris passed the reigns to Camille Verboort six years ago, and the contest lives on. Don't wait another second! July 1 is the day to start your three-minute adventure!

ADVICE FOR YOUR ADVENTURE
May 26, 2009

Congratulations! You wrote 100 pages in 30 days. It's a great feat, but don't stop there. There is so much more to do!

We're here to help you get back on your writerly feet and take your script onward and upward!

1) Register

If you are planning on selling your script, sending it out to friends for feedback, or entering it in contests, it's a good idea to register it with the Writers Guild first. They have an extensive list of FAQs. This is a super-easy and not-too-expensive ($20.00) way to keep your ideas legally safe. It's definitely worth the effort to protect your newly written intellectual property.
