Case Study: Killer Shorts rebuilds its screenplay contest and launches The Scream List with GravityKit

Killer Shorts launches The Scream List with GravityKit and surfaces top 20 scripts

Killer Shorts, a horror screenplay competition and feedback service, faced a critical challenge when its third-party contest management platform, Coverfly, shut down. Contest director Alison Parker needed to rebuild the entire submission and evaluation pipeline from scratch. She turned to GravityKit, using Gravity Forms and GravityView to bring the operations in-house without requiring custom code.

Using GravityKit's tools, Killer Shorts rebuilt its contest submission, payment, and reader evaluation system on its own WordPress site. This solution provided full platform independence and enabled the launch of The Scream List, a live directory that connects top-rated scripts with industry professionals, leading to options and representation for writers. GravityKit saved the business and opened new possibilities, with Alison Parker crediting the supportive team for helping her overcome obstacles.
