Turn your dream movie into reality via HOOQ Filmmakers Guild + Renowned Director Erik Matti announced as the third judge




I have this vision before of turning my dreams into a film, I believe that it is one of the best sources for a movie plot. Most of dreams when I was growing up could probably be turn into a suspense/thriller films, (also fantasy), you can probably know already that I most of the time I’m having a bad dream. Unfortunately, I wasn’t able to write down any of it and most of the time some details where already forgotten as soon as I woke up. Maybe it is not really meant to be remembered.

But for those people who felt they got a nice plot to share and created into a series or a movies someday, well this could be your chance to push for it.

HOOQ FILMAKERS GUILD (3 of 3)

HOOQ – the largest Video on Demand service in South-East Asia — calls for film professional, be it directors, producers, or scriptwriters to send in scripts and treatments for a TV-series idea they have. For these, the five best scripts, regionally, will be given a funding of USD$30,000 to be converted into a pilot episode that will debut on HOOQ. Submission can be from Singapore, Thailand, Indonesia, India, Philippines, Vietnam, Malaysia and Cambodia. The best out of these five pilot episodes, decided by HOOQ subscribers and a star-studded judging panel consisting of the top film talents around Asia as well as Hollywood (to be announced), will be converted into a full series produced and aired on HOOQ.
