HOW IT WORKS
FUNDING
Eligibility
The competition is open to everyone. One applicant may enter multiple submissions. Likewise, one sumission may have multiple authors.
Genres
We accept treatments for both fiction and documentary feature films. We have no preference for genre.
Criteria
What we are looking for is a summary of your film idea that encompases all the major turning points of the story and gives us a taste of your creative vision. A good synopsis should be coherent and structured; any great narrative has its beginning, middle and end.
Acceptable formats include synopses, video pitches and/or full treatments for feature films. Feel free to include any additional media materials, such as trailers, illustrations, etc. Full-length screenplays are not accepted.
You should give an outline of the characters, key points of the plot and tonal references. As you write, think about story arcs and the way your characters develop as these arcs unravel.
