> Greetings from the Ivy Film Festival at Brown University!
>
>
> In seven short years, the Ivy Film Festival has set itself apart  
> from its peers by providing a unique forum for student filmmakers  
> to exhibit their creative efforts. Completely student-run since its  
> inception, the Ivy Film Festival was created by students for  
> students, exhibiting the works of young filmmakers from around the  
> globe as well as guest speakers, panels, and workshops by industry  
> professionals. Past guests include Oliver Stone, Tim Robbins,  
> Adrien Brody, Martin Scorsese, and Jack Nicholson. Attracting  
> crowds of thousands to Brown University's campus, the Festival has  
> emerged as the largest student-run film festival in the country.
>
>
> We would like to invite your students to submit to our screenplay  
> competition. While films are the focus of the Ivy Film Festival, we  
> recognize screenwriting as an integral part of the filmmaking  
> process. We have a myriad of events for screenwriters this year  
> that will hopefully encourage many young writers, even those who  
> have never submitted their work to a judged competition, to  
> participate.
>
>
> Students can electronically submit their screenplays for  
> consideration in the 2010 screenplay competition until our final  
> deadline of February 22nd, 2010, through Withoutabox.com.  A link  
> to our Withoutabox.com account can be found on the Ivy Film  
> Festival website www.ivyfilmfestival.com. The screenplay  
> competition is currently accepting both short-form (under 30 pages)  
> and feature-length screenplays from undergraduate and graduate  
> students. Submissions may be in any genre, and the winners will  
> receive a cash prize. Additionally, outstanding work in Comedy,  
> Drama, and other genres will be recognized.
>
>
> During the festival (April 13th-18th) there will be a reading of  
> the winning screenplays and we will be hosting forums with  
> screenwriters currently working in the industry. All finalists will  
> be notified and invited as VIP guests to the festival. We will  
> provide them with housing, meals, tickets to film screenings, and  
> passes to special networking events, panels and parties. We hope  
> that screenwriting students will be able to attend the festival,  
> and that these events will help make screenwriting one of the more  
> visible and exciting
>
> aspects of the Ivy Film Festival this year and in the years to come.
>
>
> Please do not hesitate to contact myself or our Screenplay  
> Coordinator, Lisa Weisdorf, with further questions or concerns at  
> IFFScreenplay at gmail.com.
