We’re excited to announce the 2019 Feature Contest semifinalists! Narrowing the list of 66 quarterfinalists to only 26 semifinalists was difficult, especially given the outstanding quality of the quarterfinalist scripts.

WHAT’S NEXT

Our 26 semifinalists all will be invited to attend this year’s feature retreat, which takes place on October 19th – October 22nd. Attendees receive three 90-minute one-on-one sessions with CineStory mentors. Attendees also participate in mentor-run informal rooms on topics ranging from “Pitching Like a Pro” to “The State of Filmmaking in the Digital Age.” Click here for more information about the feature retreat.

Congratulations to this year’s feature semifinalists, and please check back in early September, when we’ll announce our finalists!
