Big Bear Lake International Film Festival Deadlines Approaching
Each screenplay submission is evaluated by a team of readers, and the five highest rated scripts are read by an eight-member panel of Hollywood professional producers, agents and managers, who select 1st, 2nd and 3rd place winners and 2 honorable mentions during the competition.
A previous screenwriting competition winner, Iris Yamashita, realized her dream after being discovered in the BBLIFF competition. A film festival juror, Catherine Tarr at Creative Artists Agency (CAA), recommended the screenwriter to Paul Haggis and Clint Eastwood who were working on a companion production to “Flags of Our Fathers.”
