Founded in 1995, CineStory is a U.S. nonprofit dedicated to nurturing new voices in screenwriting.
What CineStory Does
Through its annual screenwriting contest, retreat and fellowship programs, CineStory brings together working executives, writers, directors, producers, agents and managers with emerging screenwriters.
With a focus on the craft, the CineStory experience provides a supportive environment in which writers can push their creative boundaries while discovering the steps needed to compete at a professional level. At the same time, writers have access to real-world knowledge and to Hollywood decision-makers.
Invitations to the annual retreat go to winners, finalists and semifinalists of our annual screenwriting contest, the CineStory Screenwriting Awards. For rules and deadlines, click here.
