Thousand Films Scriptwriting Competition

#Extraordinary wins Best Scripted comedy at the #RTSAwards Selecting the winning show, the judges called it “confident in tone and heavy on the funny – a thrilling piece of work”. Yep.

Nearly 3,000 scripts submitted! Huge thanks to all those writers who have let us read their brilliant work. It's been a pleasure and privilege. Sadly if you haven't heard from us, you won't have made our final shortlist, but please KEEP WRITING, and see you next time! Thank you!

@RichardBevan79 Very good luck in development, and thanks for letting us read Some Where Spandex.

@ThousandFilmsTV thank you for your message. Just to let you know my script Some Wear Spandex was optioned by Picture Point Films. As you have a no reply email i wasn't able to inform you. Best Wishes

@somewriter Huge thanks for submitting, and very good luck with your writing.

Thanks @ThousandFilmsTV for taking the time to read my script. A rejection, but great to have been given a fair opportunity. Onwards.

clang clang clang my personal favourite TV show Extraordinary (no reason) is now on @ITVX which means you could watch it right ruddy now itv.com/watch/extraord…

Just over two hours until our deadline. Don't miss it. Spread the word! Please!

@LEdwardsWrites 63 pages of action plus title page is fine! Thanks for asking.

@ThousandFilmsTV - I just realised my script is 64 pages, including the title... i.e. the script itself is 63 pages. Is that OK, or do I need to get my scissors out?

@EmReaderWriter Depending on the total number of scripts we have to read, our 'working assumption' (!) is March or April this year. Lots of reading to get through! Good luck!

@ThousandFilmsTV What an incredible opportunity? When should we expect to hear back about our submissions?

@linda_denn84454 Thanks for asking - please have your friend get in touch via info@thousandfilms.co.uk. Many thanks.

@ThousandFilmsTV Asking on behalf of someone else. They submitted two scripts but only got a confirmation email for one. Does this mean the other script wasn't received?

@msstello Thanks for asking, but sadly not.
