Filmmakers Challenged to Synthesize Two Storytelling Media

SHOMI fiction is cutting edge romance for 21st century readers. The modern-day fantasy novels are fast gaining popularity, and now, book trailers for these action-packed books will be judged by author Stephen King for a coveted spot in a NYC movie premiere. 

Author Stephen King will judge entries submitted by amateur and professional filmmakers alike. The winning entry will be shown in the director’s hometown and the Big Apple.

Book trailers—which are similar in style, content, and technique to movie trailers—are a powerful and increasingly popular method for communicating why a particular novel or series of novels is a ‘must read.’ A memorable short film can visually highlight a book’s most compelling elements and draw viewers into the story and the author’s universe, making a prospective reader want to know more.
