“Hollywood has spent decades telling writers their ideas are too expensive to produce. AI changes that equation completely. We want to find the 10 boldest genre writers and prove that the only limit left is imagination.”

The Offer
What you get
Great scripts shouldn't die in a drawer. You've written something bold — a genre concept that deserves to be seen. RIFT removes every barrier between your script and a finished series.
Unlimited VFX Budget
AI filmmaking has no per-shot cost. Write a fleet of starships. A monster emerging from the ocean. Whatever you want — we don't cut scenes for budget.
Full Production
Selected scripts become complete 10-episode seasons. Not a pitch deck. Not a proof of concept. A finished, distributed series with your name on it.
Script to Screen in Weeks
No 18-month development cycle. No studio notes from people who've never written a scene. AI compresses the timeline from years to weeks.
Dedicated Genre Audience
RIFT serves genre fans specifically. Your series reaches people who actively seek out your genre — not a general feed that buries it.

story lives.

FAQ
Questions writers ask
What rights do I retain?
You retain credit as the writer. RIFT holds production and distribution rights for the series produced on our platform. Full terms are provided to selected writers before production begins.
Do I need to be a professional screenwriter?
Yes. WGA members, produced writers, writers with credits. The bar is high because these 10 scripts will be fully produced with significant investment. We need writers who understand structure, pacing, and visual storytelling at a professional level.
What does AI filmmaking actually look like?
AI handles visual production — generating scenes, environments, characters, and VFX from your script directions. The writing is 100% human. The creative vision is yours. AI is the production tool, not the storyteller.
Can I submit more than one idea?
Submit your strongest concept. If you're shortlisted, we may ask about additional ideas.
When will I hear back?
Rolling basis. Track your status from your writer dashboard after creating an account.
