This Week’s Resource:
Monkey Paw Productions, along with Universal Pictures and TIFF have announced their No Drama competition. Up to six filmmakers will be selected to each receive a grant to produce their submitted short scripts. During the one year non-exclusive talent experience selected participants will engage in roundtables and workshops to enrich their creative process in producing a short film/proof of concept. Filmmakers will work closely with Monkeypaw throughout the creative process. NO DRAMA seeks to amplify dynamic filmmakers with a passion for telling genre centered stories. All participants must meet the following criteria:
- Must be a writer-director with a unique and innovative perspective who demonstrates an interest in creating content that resonates with a global audience.
- Must be passionate about sub-genres including horror, fantasy, futurism, sci-fiction, suspense-thrillers, magical surrealism and more.
- Applicants must be the sole writer of any material submitted and own the rights. Material from writing teams will not be accepted.
