2019’s Short Film Fund is now closed. Thank you to everyone who entered.
Our Finalists will be announced on May 26th.
The Shore Scripts Short Film Fund offers an opportunity for emerging screenwriters and filmmakers to have their short film financed and produced.
The Fund welcomes submissions from screenwriters and filmmakers from around the world. We accept short scripts, animations, and proof of concept shorts for TV pilots and features.
The produced Short Film(s) will be sent to all 34 OSCAR, BAFTA, EMMY & GOLDEN GLOBE winning Judges. Between $10-15K Production Budget to make your Short Film + THOUSANDS of dollars worth of free camera equipment rental from ARRI Rental. PLUS, our Grand Prize Winner will receive; a Free 1-Year Subscription to WriterDuet Pro, a Free copy of Final Draft, and a Free 6-month membership to the International Screenwriters’ Association. The produced Short Film(s) will be sent to our complete roster of 120+ Production Companies, Agents, Managers, and 65 Directors. PLUS, every writer will receive a FREE 18 Page booklet on HOW TO GET YOUR SCREENPLAY PRODUCED. Each script is read twice by two separate readers. You will receive your script score once we announce our Finalists. There will be an additional read for each round that a script progresses. Our previous fund winners have had their films screened at Tribeca, London Film Festival, Austin, Encounters, Aesthetica, Rhode Island and many others. We’ve partnered with Coverfly to handle all submissions. As well as our judges and roster, you have the choice to make your script available to hundreds more industry professionals on their platform for no additional fee. This is entirely optional – you can be as private or public as you like.
