Semifinalist

Congratulations on advancing to the Semifinals in the Comedy Feature category for your script Moon Landing!You have advanced as a semifinalist out of 11,500+ entries in the 2025 Austin Film Festival Screenplay Competition. Only the top 2% of scripts make it this far, putting you in the company of a select few, talented writers. This is no small feat!

This year’s competition entries were a vast collection of dynamic and exceptional stories, including your own. The talent, skill, and originality demonstrated through this year’s submissions blew away our readers and made the 32nd annual competition one of our most competitive years to date.

Perhaps most importantly, we want to applaud your commitment to writing despite the recent ups and downs within the industry. On behalf of the Austin Film Festival, we thank you for your creativity and drive. Your work is, and will always remain, the irreplaceable heart of storytelling.
