Create The Writers Room Introduces FIVE FILM FRIDAYS, a quarterly program for Writers and Filmmakers in the SCI-FI and FANTASY genres. This initiative brings your imagined worlds to life, placing them on screen in front of studio, network and production executives who share a passion for magical storytelling and whimsical world-building. But it's more than just a showcase - Five Film Fridays participants are paired with Hollywood decision-makers for invaluable mentorship opportunities.

​

Each quarter, our industry partners handpick 5 exceptional films/proof-of-concepts. Out of the 5 films selected to screen at FIVE FILM FRIDAYS, 3 will be placed in the Pan African Film Festival, an Oscar-Qualifying Festival, to compete for Best Short Narrative or Best Animated Short at PAFF. 

​

This highly competitive program is designed to uncover fresh voices, elevate visionary talent, and celebrate creatives who are redefining the future of the Sci-Fi/Fantasy genre.

The stage is yours. Will your story be next?
