The Script Craft is the name of a website launched today by actor Prabhas. Now, what is unique about it is that it makes script-writing democratic. If you are an aspiring cinema writer/director, the portal provides the perfect platform to reach out to several production houses at once.
The 'Kalki 2898 AD' actor has thrown his weight behind the initiative. "The Script Craft allows writers to submit a 250-word synopsis of their story ideas. Audiences can then read and rate these submissions, with the highest-rated stories rising to the top. The feedback system focuses on ratings rather than comments," the spokesperson said.
The first contest is a special one. The topic's name is: Imagine Your Favorite Hero with Superpowers!
What are you supposed to do? Submit a 3,500-word story based on the title of the contest. The best-rated writer will be selected based on audience engagement. He or she will get to work as an assistant writer or assistant director on a real project—a valuable experience that shines a spotlight on emerging writers.
Who are the founding brains behind the initiative?
Thaalla Vaishnav and Pramod Uppalapati.
Does The Script Craft offer more?
An audiobooks feature is on the anvil. Once it is introduced, aspiring writers will get the opportunity to turn their stories into immersive audio experiences.
