How Sadeqi Story works
You bring the story. We help it find its way to the screen — discovered by the community, strengthened through feedback, and, if it rises to the top, adapted into a film.
Write
Start with the story — a personal experience, a fictional idea, a family or cultural story, a world you've been carrying for years. You don't need screenplay experience to belong here.
Protect
The moment you submit, our servers timestamp and fingerprint that exact version — and every revision after it. It's an auditable record, not a copyright registration.
Discover
Eligible community reviewers discover your story without seeing your name, avatar, or any identifying detail — story quality is judged on its own.
Review
Reviewers score the story on structured criteria and leave short, specific feedback — what worked, what could be stronger, what stayed with them.
Revise
You get the aggregated feedback and can publish a revised draft. Nothing is overwritten — every version stays in your submission's history.
Compete
Stories move through a configurable selection process — rounds narrowing a large pool down to a shortlist, then finalists.
Win
Stories can be named Story of the Week, Month, or Year — awarded independently of whether they ever become a film.
Film
Selected stories enter a production pipeline: script adaptation, AI-assisted visual and voice generation, editing, and human review at every checkpoint, through to premiere.
How are winners chosen?
Three distinct mechanisms feed selection, and we keep them visibly separate so no single one can quietly decide everything:
Reviewer score
Blind, structured scoring from randomized reviewer groups during the review phase — author identity hidden throughout.
Community vote
Ranked-choice voting among finalists, open to eligible members once a story has already cleared blind review.
Selection panel
Admin-granted awards (like Audience Choice or Best Debut) are recorded with the method that produced them, shown on the award itself.
A story doesn't need to become a film to win — Story of the Week/Month/Year is judged on the writing. A separate Film of the Week/Month/Year recognizes the adaptation itself. See the full record on the Awards page.
