There seems to be a problem with the ā€œSave for Laterā€ part of the submission process. I filled in some of the details and opted to Save for Later to continue at a later time, and it saved me under the High School competition! When I tried to retry, it said I must have a unique title, so it didn’t work. Please help!

Hi Jeff, sorry to hear you’ve encountered this issue. It’s our first time juggling multiple competitions at once and there’s obviously some teething problems occurring. Apologies.

Could you kindly send an email to Support@info.kinolime.com with the title of your screenplay and the issue you’re encountering? Please let us know what browser you used to try and upload. You can CC me in mowengriffiths@kinolime.com and we’ll get the issue resolved together. Thanks!

Hello, I submitted the treatment, but didn’t know it had to be anonymous. Should the screenplay be anonymous, too? What should I do?

The 12th Day: Unstoppable/Indomitable

Hi everyone Ive just submitted my script The 12th Day Its a story very close to my heart that explores humanity through a completely different lens

The Question: Imagine a global pandemic not from a human perspective but from an animals lens—could a creature like a Bulldog teach us what it really means to be indomitable? Id love to know if this perspective excites you

ZERO: THE ARCHITECT OF NOTHING

Excited to share my submission ZERO Its a tech-driven narrative that I believe connects every generation

The Question: In a world driven by technology can a single Zero redefine everything we know about existence? What if the architect of our future is a concept that connects us all? Looking forward to hearing your thoughts

The Theme The Adrenaline of Madness

The Breakout Kaal rips the iron post out of the concrete He doesnt just run he hunts He is now a 120pound hydraulic machine of death
