Amid the rustle of crinoline skirts and the flickering gas lamps of a bygone era, history comes to life and the past unfolds before our eyes within period piece screenplays that weave a tapestry of captivating tales from times long past. All-time classics like PRIDE & PREJUDICE and THE GOOD, THE BAD, & THE UGLY enchant our hearts and take us into the old ways of the world, while unconventional period piece stories like THE FAVOURITE and ABRAHAM LINCOLN: VAMPIRE HUNTER explore unique ways into the past. Audiences are always ready for that next period piece movie hit -- and we want it be YOURS!

If you have a Historical story that needs to be told, now is the time to show us what you've got, because our goal is to amplify your voice, give you the access Stage 32 is known for, and take your writing career to the next level!

Our Grand Prize winner will be flown to LA for meetings (travel permitting) to meet with:

  • Shaun O'Banion, Producer, Ravenwood Films, (JOJO RABBIT, THE AFTERMATH)
