After several months of reading, debating and tallying, we, alongside our exclusive competition partners Vertigo Entertainment, Twin Padres Productions, ESA, and Bellevue, are incredibly thrilled to announce the 2016 Launch Pad Feature Competition’s Top 75.
With this year’s competition we not only saw the largest number of entries ever and read some of the best scripts, but we also celebrated the Launch Pad Competition’s fourth year. To think, all those years ago this was simply something we’d put together because we felt there was a void in the competition space to help writers break out, and now, with more than 180 writers signed, 65 projects set up, and 30 writers staffed, we’re going into year four with a list of powerful producing partners in Scott Free, Vertigo Entertainment, Twin Padres and Endgame Entertainment, representation partners in Energy Entertainment, ESA, Bellevue, Lee Stobby Entertainment and Fourth Wall Management, and publishing partners in Inkshares, we’ve never been more excited about the opportunities, the expansion, and the potential on display for all of our Launch Pad writers.
And this year’s Top 75 once again showcases the diverse spectrum of storytelling that led us here; from sci-fi coming of age tales to revisionist history think pieces, dramatically focused biopics to holiday family laughers, epic period pieces to intense character studies, mile-a-minute action comedies to personal tales of discovery, R-rated high school adventures to supernatural thrillers, timely political conspiracies to stoner alien abductions, and that’s just the tip of the iceberg. This year’s finalists not only presented us with an endless sea of worlds to play in, but they each invited us in to get lost in the beauty of their journey with them.
Now, the real fun begins. As our 2016 LPFC producing partners Vertigo Entertainment and Twin Padres Productions begin to search for their next breakout hit, and our 2016 LPFC representation partners ESA and Bellevue begin the hunt for their next star client, we dive headfirst into getting your work into the hands of our judges at WME, UTA, Anonymous Content, Good Fear, CAA, Circle of Confusion, Madhouse Entertainment, ICM, Romark Entertainment, Magnet Management, Epicenter, Zero Gravity, Paradigm, Gersh, DMG, Writ Large, Markerstone, Prime Universe, APA, and Grandview amongst others. To say the next few weeks are going to be exciting would be an understatement.
So, before we begin our journey towards introducing these writers to the world, let us first introduce you to the 2016 Launch Pad Feature Competition Top 75!
