THIS YEAR , WE ARE PROUD TO ANNOUNCE, THAT WE ARE ACCEPTING SUBMISSIONS FOR FINISHING FUNDS!

We know it is often tough to take your first steps in the entertainment industry. More so maybe this last year than ever before as screenwriters and filmmakers have faced a significant slow-down on projects going into production.

We are happy to announce that our Short Film Fund will again be awarding two production grants this Spring.

GRAND PRIZE | $15,000 Cash!

2ND PLACE PRIZE | $10,000 Cash!

We accept short scripts, animations, web-series pilots, and proof of concept shorts for TV pilots and features.

We will never look to obtain any rights over your script or the finished film. The filmmakers will retain full copyright and receive 100% of any revenue the winning films may recoup.
