New Amazon movie studio seeks submissions | Digital Media - CNET News
Amazon.com has gone Hollywood.Debuting yesterday, the new Amazon Studios is looking to make commercial motion pictures based on scripts and movies submitted by budding screenwriters and filmmakers.
Anyone with dreams to make it big in the big-screen business is invited to submit a full-length movie or script. Through both monthly and annual awards starting in 2011, Amazon plans to offer cash to the best submissions and develop the top projects as commercial movies through Warner Bros. or another Hollywood studio.
Filmmakers can upload their movies at the Amazon Studios Web site. Movies must be full-length--at least 70 minutes--and be based on an original idea or a script submitted to Amazon. They don't have to be full-scale, full-budget theatrical productions, so no expensive crane shots or Lucas-like special effects are required. Amazon Studios is currently showing five sample movies on its site to give people an idea of what they can submit.
