Haydenfilms Institute (HFI) Announces a Call for Submissions for the $10,000 Haydenfilms 1.0 Screenwriting Competition; “The Adaptation of The Theory of 5” written by Chris Saraceno open to any genre, inspired by the core philosophies of the book for the narrative of the story.

HFI is including an additional short film script competition open to all genres and subject matter which is NOT based on The Theory of 5, where the top four finalists will receive $1,000 each.

Since 2001, Haydenfilms holds the distinction of being host to one of the world’s first online film festivals. Every year, film entries were submitted through the festival’s website, where the Top 50 entries were selected, competed and voted upon by a global audience, which resulted in one winner taking the grand prize of $10,000.

Past Winners
1.0 Quinn Saunders "Fortunate Son"
2.0 John Burgess "The Powder Puff Principle"
3.0 Reda Mustafa "The Boot of War"
4.0 Johnny Ray Gill "My Turtle's Name is Dudley"
Youth Media Initiative | Top 3 PSA Finalists

HFI wants to empower the world’s future screenwriters in presenting their craft as we had done in the past (and into the future) with global award-winning filmmakers with our Haydenfilms Online Film Festivals and our multiple film labs hosted over a 15-year period.

HFI wants screenwriters to bring their potential in our first Screenwriting Competition, and to join the legacy of worldwide film professionals who emerged from our organization. Not only our winner will receive a grand prize, but they’ll also have the potential to meet with producers and directors to make their vision come to fruition.
