AUGUST, 2026
Writers Invited to Participate
in Film Project!
WMC member Matthew Long is looking
for 3-5 page scenes for an indie film
he's shooting later this year. The film is
similar to Waking Life or Slacker in vibe –moving
from one conversation, one group of people, to
another,one vignette at a time. Instead of the
rotoscoped streets of Austin, Texas, the film’s
setting is the foggy alleyways and murals of
Fort Bragg, California.
Everyone who participates will be
credited as a writer.
The submission deadline is August 31.
WMC members interested in collaborating
