We would like to say a huge Thank You to everyone who entered this year's Short Film Fund.
2020 saw the highest number of submissions since we started our Fund in 2016. The quality increases year on year, making the task of narrowing it down to our Finalists an extremely difficult one. Our team and industry readers have evaluated submissions in every genre, from writers all over the world.
This year we have expanded our film fund to award two production grants. One short film project will receive the maximum cash grant of $15,000; the second will receive a grant of $5,000.
If you entered, you will have already received an email on the status of your script.
