Lionsgate and Massify have formed an innovative partnership to work with Massify's creative talent to develop groundbreaking feature film projects. The ultimate goal of the Lionsgate Incubator is to develop original film ideas that can be grown into feature films or shorts using the Lionsgate's development and production resources.
The first project, launching later this year, will produce a high-concept, male-driven comedy short based on a script from our community. A director, cast, and crew will also be attached through Massify, with Lionsgate's feature film development team providing input throughout the process.

From the Studio
It's hard to contain our excitement for the fantastic response to our first program under the Lionsgate Incubator. With over 1,400 submissions, this has been the most successful development phase to date and shatters our previous record for number of concepts entered.
We are entering the final week of entries and welcome your last minute submissions, comments and additional notes. We are starting to see some great stories develop and are pleased with this group endeavor. We do want to guide you to the finish line however with a few comments and suggestions.
Welcome to the Lionsgate Incubator! Lionsgate wants to develop a high concept comedy, a movie where the premise can be explained in a single sentence, or better yet, title. The winning script should be fun, full of hilarious dialogue and memorable characters.
