ATLFF ‘24 Screenplay Reader Committee
Applications for the 2024 ATLFF Reading Committee are open!
We’re looking for enthusiastic film fans who love independent cinema to evaluate submissions with us. Each year ATLFF must narrow down thousands of submissions to the 5 screenplays that will make up our program, and our screeners are invaluable to this process.
The ATLFF Reading Committee is composed of local and worldwide readers who are academics, filmmakers, readers for other festivals/contests, ATLFF alums, and/or cinephiles.
Readers should have the ability to:
Analyze films critically and objectively with a diverse audience in mind (aware that genre, merit, and even content may extend outside of their own preferences, tastes, and/or beliefs).
Write qualitative evaluations/opinions of submissions.
Read screenplay submissions in their entirety in a timely manner.
Adhere to the committee's rules and strict confidentiality guidelines which will be provided upon acceptance.
READING PERIOD: Approximately August 2023 through January 2024
BENEFITS: Readers can earn a range of rewards potentially even including an All-Access Badge to the 2024 festival depending on the number of scripts they read. All rewards are redeemable for the 2024 Atlanta Film Festival.
FESTIVAL DATES: April 25 - May 5, 2024
SELECTION: Spots are limited, and only serious applicants will be considered. Not everyone who applies will be selected to serve on the committee.
