The DC Shorts Screenplay Competition is a very different kind of screenwriting competition. A panel of judges consisting of filmmakers, screenwriters and critics reviewed over 80 screenplays — and selected the top 6 to be performed for you! After a table reading, the audience will vote for their favorite, and one lucky writer will walk away with $2,000 to shoot their project! The completed film will screen at DC Shorts 2019.
All ticket and pass holders must be seated 15 minutes prior to show time to guarantee a seat. After that time, pass holders will be admitted with the general audience.
20 minutes before each showcase…VIP pass holders and filmmakers are admitted to the theater.
15 minutes before each showcase… all ticket holders are admitted to the theater.
10 minutes before each showcase… all unclaimed seats are sold at the theater door. The standby line will form 45 minutes before the screening time. What are your chances of getting in? Pretty good — we usually release a minimum of 20-40 tickets at the door
