Concept Notes from the Lionsgate Team
3/3/2010 at 9:30 AM by Kenneth Woo
We are entering the final week of entries and welcome your last minute submissions, comments and additional notes. We are starting to see some great stories develop and are pleased with this group endeavor. We do want to guide you to the finish line however with a few comments and suggestions.
Your log line is the most important part of the submission. You must try to get us (and eventually an audience) to want to know more. Choose a concept that is easy to express in a sentence; if that's hard for you to do, you may be working on a low-concept idea.
We are seeing some good writing in your script pages, but notice that the concept isn’t always expressed in the pages you’ve selected. Choose your pages wisely.
For this project, we'd prefer that you steer away from romantic comedies (guy meets girl, something keeps them apart, they end up together). Romance in a comedy is fine, but it should be a subplot, not the main plot.
We are looking forward to your latest submissions. This is the week to give it your all!

August 24, 2011Andrew Hu "The Boob" missed the Incubator deadline but Lionsgate shouldn't miss it: http://massify.com/projects/theboobafeaturecomedy. High concept (A guy can't stop staring at breasts), young male driven with sharp humor and that gross out/heartfelt combination. Congrats to Barbara too!

Craig Richards I'm privileged to announce the screenplay for "Hawaiian Vacation" by Craig Richards is an Official Selection at the Beverly Hills Film Festival. The feature-length family comedy was also pitched here at Lionsgate Labs.
March 15, 2010In the next phase of this Incubator Project on March 19, Lionsgate will be accepting pitches from directors. Supposedly interested directors will have had time to review the winning screenplay before then. So, my best guess is we should know this week!
Jack Parvo How about extending the pitch deadline if the judges are not truly happy with the submissions to date?
March 12, 2010Michael Harrop When do they announce the winner?
