About
The Shore Scripts Short Film Fund offers you an opportunity to have your short film script financed and produced.
Our 14 Industry Award-Winning Judges including former Fund Winners will decide this year’s Grand Prize Winners.
The 2022 Fall Season of our Short Film Fund will award production financing for two short films:
· Grand Prize Winner - A Production Cash Grant of $10K.
· 2nd Place Prize - A Production Cash Grant of $5K.
Both of our Winners will each receive meetings and be mentored by Oscar-Nominated Producer Maria Gracia Turgeon – FAUVE, IKHWÈNE.
Plus, our sponsor ARRI Rental will provide free production equipment rental for the duration of production in any country in which they operate.
