The Bucket · script submissions
The Bucket is where scripts wait to be picked. Yours stays in for future terms unless you opt out, so one submission can become a film two terms later.
01
Anyone can submit, member or not, as many scripts as you like. Remove your name from the file: selection is blind.
Officers and department leads read every script and send written notes back through Backlot.
02
03
When submissions close, members volunteer to direct and pitch a script to the producers. If the pitch for yours wins, it’s greenlit.
Directors ask you first. You can write the changes or let leadership adjust. Big VFX or set builds may get scaled to what a club can shoot.
04
What you can submit for
Mini
Shot over one weekend. The one production type where the writer can direct their own script.
Term-long
2–3 weekends across the ten-week term. Writers stay involved but don’t direct.
Documentary
You submit a pitch deck instead of a script.
Other
Animation, two-term projects, experiments. The Bucket exists to widen what the club considers.

Takes ten minutes. Title, tagline, logline, the file with your name removed, and how to reach you.
