The Shore Scripts Short Film Fund offers an opportunity for emerging screenwriters and filmmakers to have their short films financed and produced. The Fund welcomes submissions from screenwriters and filmmakers from around the world. The fund is open to new and previous entrants.
We accept short film scripts, web-series pilots, animations, and proof-of-concept shorts for TV series and Features. We also accept short film projects in production seeking Finishing Funds.
Our writers have gone on to gain representation, sold screenplays, and been staffed on TV shows as a direct result of entering the fund.
Our 14 commissioned short films have played at some of the top film festivals in the world. We are excited to commission two more stand-out short scripts for production in the Spring of 2022.
The two produced Short Films from each season will be sent to all 60+ OSCAR, BAFTA, EMMY & GOLDEN GLOBE winning Judges. PLUS, we have 19 Award-winning Filmmakers on board to judge this year’s best scripts. Our Grand Prize Winner receives $10,000 Cash and our 2nd Prize Winner $5K Cash to make their Short Films plus THOUSANDS of dollars worth of free camera equipment rental from ARRI Rental. Our two Prize Winners will each receive a FREE copy of the latest Final Draft screenwriting software.
