ÉCU- The European Independent Film Festival hosts its 6th "Much More than a Script" Competition. As part of the ÉCU 2012 film festival, the script competition’s focus is on independent screenplays, that is, scripts that aren’t aimed at mainstream Hollywood film markets.

Writers are invited to submit their short and feature-length scripts to the competition where they compete for the best script of the festival. Scenes from the winning feature-length script are given a dramatic live reading at the film festival, which will take place in Paris from March 30th to April 1st, 2012. The winners from both categories will also receive a script coverage package courtesy of ScriptShark and other partners of ÉCU.

The script competition is one of the highlights of the European Independent Film Festival (ÉCU), whose goal is to bring worldwide attention to European independent filmmakers, as well as filmmakers from the Americas, Africa and Asia.
