Scriptapalooza Fellowship
Emerging or unverified festival
The Scriptapalooza Fellowship is a Los Angeles-based screenwriting fellowship founded in 2016 that is designed to support emerging writers rather than function as a traditional film festival. It is notable for offering mentorship, feedback, and industry access to selected fellows, and it accepts feature screenplay and pilot submissions in all genres written in English. Its significance in the broader film circuit comes from its connections to producers and its role in helping writers develop market-ready scripts and professional relationships.
