The HCF Screenplay Competition

The HCF Screenplay Competition not only provides screenwriters with over $50,000 in cash and prize value, we are one of the only competitions that provides critical resources (locations, camera equipment) in helping screenwriters produce their scripts.

The HCF Screenplay Competition was specifically designed to bridge the gap between the large number of quality scripts that are produced annually, and the small number of scripts that get green-lit for production. By providing a wide array of cash prizes and critical production resources such as equipment and shooting locations to filmmakers, our competition stands apart from traditional competitions who don't provide logistical resources to help bring your script to screen.

It's important for us to make this competition free to eliminate any and all barriers for up and coming screenwriters to participate. Since our mission at Hollywood Casting and Film is to bring together actors and filmmakers through our website, HollywoodCastingandFilm.com, what we will ask in return is for our semi-finalists to post your project/breakdown on our website so that you can become part of our exciting film community. (Upon selection of semi-finalists, we'll send you a link to create your breakdown in a matter of minutes).

Hollywood Talent Summit 
As an extension of our Screenplay Competition, we invite screenwriters and filmmakers to submit with the understanding, should they be selected as a semi-finalist, they will be notified to post the project on the HCF website for actor members to consider. After projects are posted and selected breakdowns presented, HCF actor members will have an opportunity to submit video auditions (for talent living outside of Los Angeles county) and engage in local casting sessions in the Hollywood studios of HCF.

All Official Selection projects, Screenplay Finalists and participating actors will have an opportunity to be presented as part of the Talent Showcase. These selected acting contestants will perform in front of a distinguished jury and live audience of industry professionals, invited guests and general audiences (March 2019).

At Hollywood Casting and Film, our goal is to bring artists together to advance their craft. On both sides of the camera. 

Hollywood Casting and Film is a place where actors from all over the US can receive acting tips from famous actors, audition for films, and get cast.
