Circalit
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Circalit is an online community for writers, screenwriters, agents and producers. It mediates between industry professionals and individuals, and also provides a forum for writers to discuss each other's work. It was "[l]abeled as the first ever social networking site for screenwriters"[1] by Movie Maker website, and dubbed the 'Facebook for screenwriters'.[2] Recently, Circalit has partnered[clarification needed] the website with The Script Factory, which has links to both Disney and Sony Pictures.[3]
Circalit was founded by a group of University College London students in February 2010.[4] The CEO came up with the idea while working in a film production studio, noticing scripts he enjoyed that were ignored.[5] In 2011 the company won the UCL Bright Ideas award.[6]
