Completed films/videos must be received at the IFP Minnesota Center for Media Arts no later than 4:00pm on Friday, August 15, 2008. Screenwriters Workshop designed ScreenLabs as a filmmaking development program intended to foster collaboration among writers, directors, producers, talent and crew through bringing original scripts to the screen. The Challenge began in 2007 as a contest to empower screenwriters to produce their own scripts. This years theme is "Agony and bliss: Unrequited love." This should be an integral theme that runs through each film. As with last years ScreenLabs Challenge, we require a particular location be included in all completed films. For 2008 filmmakers must include the "Witch's Hat" water tower in Prospect Park, Minneapolis, as a location in their finished film.
