Seminar
An anthology show where featured shorts are heard through the lens of lessons in a futuristic post-apocalypse.
The content of "Seminar" varies by episode as dictated by the featured shorts. Shorts range from very G-rated to hard R. Listener discretion is advised.
So you want to submit a script, eh? Fantastic! We'd love to read it. There are, however, a few qualifiers:
1. Your story must be in script form. We do not have time to convert prose to script. Here's an example, if you're not familiar with them. All scripts for "Seminar" (and indeed all shows by Pendant Productions) need to be in standard screenplay format.
2. Submitted scripts should be 3 - 15 pages in length.
3. We cannot accept all scripts sent to us into the show, but we will accept as many as we can.
4. The story and characters must be original and created by you. If you are adapting an existing work, it must be in the public domain. YOU retain full rights to the stories and characters you create. By submitting your script, you grant Pendant Productions the right to produce said material in audio form and to promote "Seminar" using said material, and declare you have the rights to submit said material to us. Scripts are written on a volunteer basis for credit only, in a free podcast production.
5. Scripts should be sent to scripts@pendantaudio.com. Make sure your subject line includes "Seminar Submission: YourTitleHere".
6. Stories must be self contained, and limited to only one or two parts (of no more than 15 pages each).
More info on script writing and formating is in our FAQ:
