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 47 OSCAR, BAFTA, EMMY & GOLDEN GLOBE winning Judges. PLUS, we have 14 Award-winning Filmmakers on board to judge this year’s best scripts. 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 also receive a FREE Pass to the RAINDANCE FILM FESTIVAL, and a Free copy of Final Draft. The produced Short Film(s) will be sent to our complete roster of 120+ Production Companies, Agents, Managers, and our 70+ Directors. PLUS, every writer who enters will receive a FREE 18 Page booklet on HOW TO GET YOUR SCREENPLAY PRODUCED. Our readers have read for some of the biggest production companies in the world, including: Universal, Lionsgate, Paramount, Working Title, BBC and many others. 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 have also helped 65+ writers gain representation, option, sell and have their screenplays produced. 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.
