From Page to Proof is an initiative from GET IT MADE and The Writers Lab that gives storytellers the opportunity to turn their completed screenplay into a Proof of Concept (POC) — a short, high-impact visual piece that captures the style, tone, and market potential of a feature or TV pilot.

The grand prize winner will have their Proof of Concept (whether a short film or cinematic trailer) made to showcase its full potential to studios, streamers, and investors, along with a 90-day GET IT MADE Membership.

Five finalists will also receive a 90-day GET IT MADE Membership to refine and package their projects for industry readiness.

Claim the Earliest Bees rate and secure your spot in both the GET IT MADE Workshop and The Writers Lab Workshop. These group sessions will help you refine your Proof of Concept script with feedback from industry professionals, giving you an advantage before judging begins.

Plus, you still have until October 25 to upload your materials.

This program is open to all storytellers worldwide. Anyone with a fully developed completed feature film or TV pilot script.

Grand Prize: A Proof of Concept produced by GET IT MADE, backed by 90 days membership that ensures Project Readiness.

Finalists (5): Each receives a 90-day GET IT MADE Membership to work with Industry Pros, Monthly 1:1 Story Development, Production Viability Assessments and more.

Round 1: GET IT MADE producers review all submissions and create a shortlist.

Round 2: A judging panel of TWL leaders, Industry Pros, and notable guest juror will select the finalists and the grand prize winner. The Director for the Proof of Concept will be announced at this stage.

The POC Workshops are exclusive sessions designed to help you refine your Proof of Concept before it’s judged.

• GET IT MADE POC Workshop – Led by our producers, this session focuses on making your concept production-ready, with insights on visual storytelling, pacing, and market appeal [tentatively 09/16]
