1. We seek an original screenplay set in Malaysia for a small-scale horror or thriller feature movie.
2. The writer may be of any age, nationality or level of experience.
3. The screenplay can be written in either English or Malay. The dialogue of the eventual film can be whatever is apt for the characters (eg Malay, Chinese, Tamil, Iban, Kadazan, English, etc).
4. Suggested length: 60-90 pages. In proper screenwriting format such as FinalDraft.
5. The story must be in the horror or thriller genre. Not all horror movies need ghosts and not all thrillers need killings.
6. There should ideally be no more than 10 speaking parts and 3 major locations. Refer to small-scale horror/thriller movies such as SINISTER, SHALLOW GRAVE, REC, GONJIAM HAUNTED ASYLUM and TWO SISTERS (in Malaysian cinemas from 18 April 2019).
7. Only one screenplay will be chosen. The winner will get RM20,000 and 1% of the film’s income on all platforms.
8. The winner will be announced in October 2019. We pledge to shoot the winning screenplay in the first half of 2020.
9. Copyright of all submitted screenplays remain with the writer.
10. Be afraid. Be very afraid.
