StoryBoard Tv

In four weeks (actually, four weeks and one day), the submission period for Storyboard TV’s first scriptwriting contest will end. And I have to say, we’re extremely excited by the 38 scripts up already and the one’s we’ve heard about yet to be posted. Also very cool: we have script from New Zealand, a good handful from the UK, and of course a great many from the US.

I’m also noticing some interesting themes: There are several shows dealing with US characters living the UK, some of which include members of the Royal Family. A couple of shows explore what it’s like to live in the spotlight – either young and rich in Britain or rich and famous in LA. We have two pilots about lady thieves (which, lets face it, are WAY sexier than male thieves). We’ve got scripts delving into the psyche of murderers and crime lords. And some really funky science fiction. I wonder if its true that our shows are supposed to reflect what’s going on in the American psyche. If so, then… huh.

Anyway, we here at Storyboard TV are thrilled with what’s been posted and look forward to seeing what comes in March. Thanks to all who’ve submitted so far!
