Our Mission

Hollywood is broken.

The big studios have lost their way. They’ve forgotten how to make movies audiences can’t wait to see in theaters, then watch over and over again at home. Packed House Pictures wants to change all that by turning to the very people Hollywood has abandoned: the Fans. Our fans will help us choose original, character driven scripts - the stories they want to be told. As a Fan, you'll join us on the filmmaking journey as we bring those scripts to life. At Packed House Pictures, we believe that only together can we revive a dying art and bring the joy of entertainment back to the silver screen.

Why submit your screenplay to the Packed House Pictures Competition?

The Packed House Pictures Screenwriting Competition is a competition like no other. We don’t want to simply give a writer "exposure" to the Hollywood system or a virtual pat the back. We want to make the winning script into a professionally produced, directed, and theatrically released movie.

By focusing our inaugural competition on low-budget, character and concept driven pieces, Packed House has a practical yet exciting plan to take our winner’s script from page to screen, in a competition where the final round will be judged not by an agent, a producer, or even another writer, but by the ticket-buying fans who want to see the finished product brought to life.

Don’t sit around hoping for Hollywood to change. Be a part of it. Write your script and submit it!
