Testimonials

"Thank you Barnstorm Fest for the extensive coverage and opportunities provided to me as a Finalist. The meeting with a Producer helped me understand how to best develop my synopsis and pitch materials and elevated not just my winning script but they reviewed my other story concepts and tv pilot. The chance to be introduced to literary agents in LA at this stage of my career was another win."

"I loved working with Barnstorm Media ~ They were so professional,
communicative and supportive, but above all, creative.

They honored my vision while honing my piece to become its very best version.

Thank you Barnstorm Media! I hope to work with you again soon!"

Lori Lyle

"I really enjoy dealing with the organizers at Barnstorm.

Their communication is great, and offer much more useful help to screenwriters than the majority other festivals.

Very pleased to be a finalist.

Barnstorm is aces!"

I found (Barnstorm Fest to be excellent. I found the notes I received to be very useful, and every interaction with Barnstorm to be a pleasure. If all competitions were as customer focused and professional as (Barnstorm), the screenwriting world would be a happier place.

"I can’t say enough good things about Barnstorm Media. Every interaction has been not only prompt and helpful but also filled with genuine care for the writers they support. Their feedback loop is amazing—thoughtful, encouraging, and detailed in every aspect of a script, from line edits to story flow. Taking in their notes has been such a rewarding process. Because of their guidance, I even earned a double recommend on another platform, and I’ll always be grateful for the role Barnstorm played in that."

BOLT runs a stellar contest with insightful feedback as part of the entry fee and the opportunity to re-submit a second draft that incorporates that feedback for a nominal fee. Areas for improvement were noted with tact and seeming sensitivity to the fact that aspiring screenwriters might benefit from encouragement as opposed to a clubbing by the reader. My hands-down-favorite screenwriting contest!
