The 18th Dallas International Film Festival opens today with a Majestic Theatre screening of "Dude Perfect: A Very Long Shot" from ESPN's "30 for 30" documentary series. Running through May 2 and featuring more than 100 films, the festival includes an array of titles from local filmmakers, producers, distributors, and investors.
A suspense-horror short script takes the grand prize, with feature, TV pilot and short scripts also honored. Sneakerhead is set to be directed by award-winning filmmaker Johnathan Brownlee.
Of the thousands of film festivals competing for titles and audiences, hundreds hold screenplay competitions, looking for scripts that could be the next "Good Will Hunting," "Moonlight," or—hey, why not—"Star Wars." This year, for the first time, the Dallas International Film Festival was named among the best. MovieMaker Magazine just named "15 Submission-Worthy Screenwriting Competitions" and DIFF made the cut.
