Announcing the 4th Annual Action/Thriller Screenwriting Contest

The best action/thriller movies combine intense, well-choreographed action sequences with a gripping, suspenseful plot, strong character development, exciting action set pieces, and unexpected twists to keep the audience on the edge of their seats. Classic action/thriller shows like CSI or GAME OF THRONES are some of the most watched series of all time and keep spawning spin-off series. Current action/thriller franchises like JOHN WICK, MISSION IMPOSSIBLE, and FAST & FURIOUS won't stop delivering amazing sequels to fans. So far this year, DUNE: PART TWO is the second highest grossing movie of any 2024 release. And this summer BAD BOYS: RIDE OR DIE surged into the Top Ten at the box office with a strong global run. Audiences are always ready for that next action/thriller hit -- and we want it be YOURS!

Stage 32 is proud to present the 4th Annual Action/Thriller Screenwriting Contest!

If you have a action/thriller story that needs to be told, now is the time to show us what you've got, because our goal is to amplify your voice, give you the access Stage 32 is known for, and take your writing career to the next level!
