Synopsis: In this feature, we follow Nick Pettybaker – a sleep-deprived researcher at the University of California who is racing against the clock to complete the “Dome,” a highly advanced machine that can locate and kill brain cancer. After some failed initial attempts, he’s given twenty-four hours to complete this feat. He’s up against Dr. Cochran, a man with a big ego and perhaps an even bigger contempt for Nick and his now-deceased professor, Albert Freeman.

In the first 10 pages the writer needs to let the reader know in general terms what the story is about, and what is at stake. Plus, set the tone of what world and genre the writer has created, while also introducing the main characters. All the while you need to engage and entertain the reader.
The contest was created because this is an industry where agents/producers and their team are so busy and are reading so many scripts that if you do not grab them right away then they will put down the script and move onto another one. So you have to capture their attention when you’re writing on spec.

FAREWELL, 5min., China, Dance
Directed by Ruo Wen Tian Countless ordinary life experiences are buried deep in the dust. In an old factory trapped in stilled time, I try to show how common folk constantly exist in an ever moving forward torrent of time, through the collision and contrast between the youth of young dancers and the antiquity of the machinery and environment, while also using the shoe that appears in the beginning and at the end to represent the memories of people who couldn’t keep up with the changes of the times.

Directed by Louise Marie Beauchamp Poetic fresco shot in the cold of Canada that expresses the difficulty for a migrant to tame a foreign territory. On J.-S. Bach’s Adagio in D minor, which he brilliantly interprets on the piano, the Guatemalan indigenous artist and farmer Salvador Chavajay tells us with simplicity and clairvoyance the recent forced exodus of workers from his country and offers his definition of the term’s poverty, wealth and conscience.
