Submission Process
Before You Submit
There are a few things you need to know:
- Your script must have a unique title. If the title has been used already, the system will inform you of such. Please contact the WGSA Administrator.
- Before submitting, your work must be registered with our WGSA Script Registry or any other legitimate Script Registry. You will not be able to list your script without a script registration number.
- Make sure that you categorise your project correctly.
- The submission form requires a logline and short synopsis. Please prepare this before the time. To ensure that your work has a professional ring to it, spell check, grammar check and check punctuation before you submit it into the public domain. To develop a professional logline, you may use this guideline:
Ultimate Logline Guide:
“A hero with a flaw that keeps him/her from achieving a worthwhile goal, who is forced to respond to a life changing event instigated by an opponent, and in the process of responding to that life changing event with the help of an ally, the hero is forced to overcome his/her flaw and only then is s/he able to do one-on-one with the opponent to realize his/her goal.”

| Logline | It is twenty years into the future, and a complete economic role reversal has occurred in South Africa. An African elite rule over a poor white minority in South Africa with an iron fist, strangely reminiscent of apartheid. Soon trouble is on the horizon, and South Africa is forced to remember what its constitution really stood for. |
| Elevator Pitch | ‘Amandla’ is a 13X 48-minute sci-fi political thriller set a number of years into South Africa’s distant future, posing an exciting ‘what if’ science fiction scenario. An African majority has run the country for decades, establishing a wealthy and powerful African elite, but resulting in a gross marginalisation of the white minority. A complete economic role reversal has occurred with whites working as menial labour for the African elite. Whites now live primarily in townships and Africans in suburbs. At the start of the series, trouble is brewing as the poor white minority has begun to form a series of revolutionary struggles; – reminiscent of the ones that led to South Africa’s democracy in 1994. |
