Short Drama
Development investment of up to $2,000 will be provided to the writer of a short drama to develop a scene breakdown and up to three drafts of the screenplay. Successful applicants will work with a professional writer who will mentor the development process.
Documentary
Development investment of up to $2,000 will be provided to the documentary filmmaker to conduct research and develop a treatment through a number of drafts. Successful applicants will work with a professional documentary filmmaker to develop the project to a stage where it can be presented to television broadcasters.
