The applicants must complete only two documents—the script application and brief biography. There are no age restrictions. Subjects may vary greatly. This contest is held for the second time within the framework of the International Astana Action Film Festival. Though the Kazakhstani people did not participate in the first contest as there was too little time for preparation. But foreign talents showed active interest. The winner of last year's contest was Brian Miller, a young American, with the draft of the Apollo 18 film. His dream came true within just one year. He directed the film which will come out soon and it will be shown at the II International Action Film Festival in Astana in early July.

Irene Vanidovskaya, the director of ASTANA Action Film Festival: We will look over the scripts during two weeks and choose the top 5—four from all over the world and one from Kazakhstan. Maybe there will be more from Kazakhstan, we do not know yet, but we already invite them to come to the Film Festival where all our producers will determine the winners. Make the project a reality. That is, we give a small cash equivalent. Among the participants, there are screenwriters from major film schools of the world from Russia, USA, France, England, and Spain. For Kazakhstani people, there are some concessions in this respect. They may be free artists, as the saying goes.

If you win then your dream to make a film with leading world producers may come true. Kazakhstan TV Channel Timur Bekmambetov opens the door to Kazakhstani people into the world of great movie.
