Improve Your Writing • Polish Your Script • Prepare For Success
Without feedback, you will never know why your script is being ignored. Get feedback and learn, so your scripts get noticed and your opportunities increase.
Screenwriters often don't get the results they were hoping for from a script but don't know how to fix it, leaving them confused or frustrated.
FFPRSF offers you affordable feedback from other writers and actionable techniques from professional instructors that you can immediately use to refine your script, increase your skill level, and advance your career!

Testimonials
A truly unique festival which made me want to write another faith/family-friendly screenplay just to participate a second time. Thank you peers for choosing my screenplay as having the best "Villian" and for several runners-up categories. I look forward to putting all your feedback into action. The organizers were very communicative and accommodating. The added bonus of the Bootcamp was stellar.
