program Request for Screenplay Submissions 

Submit your short film screenplay today and this time next year you could see your story on the big screen. The SVA MPS Live Action Short Film program is requesting short film screenplays to present to our incoming Masters candidates. Our students are looking to option compelling stories of all kinds, no more than 15 pages, low-budget, and able to be shot in the winter in New York City and surrounding areas. If chosen, your screenplay will be produced during our ten-month program. Each film is screened at a juried festival in June at the Director’s Guild of America Theater. 

The MPS Live Action Short Film Program is the only film school of its kind: In less than 1 year, *each student creates* a professionally-produced short film and attains a Masters Degree. Over the course of 10 months, our film program empowers each of our students to write and *direct their own short films* by providing them with the latest technology, instruction from *award-winning filmmakers*, and an experienced film crew. High-level production values combined with strong storytelling equals success in the film industry; for this reason, the student-films created in this film program have already gone on to be official selections at such prestigious institutions as *Cannes Film Festival* and Film Festival Internazionale di Milano.
