This grant provides three years of renewed support to the University of California Los Angeles (UCLA) for a series of activities, programs, and initiatives designed to encourage UCLA film students to engage with scientific and technological themes in their filmmaking and to produce science-themed films and screenplays. UCLA will award three annual prizes: a $30,000 production award and two $15,000 screenwriting awards for feature films or episodic television. UCLA will also host an annual colloquium that brings film students together with leading researchers to discuss the newest developments in science and technology. This grant also provides funds for dedicated scientific advisors to help students with their projects, independent judges to evaluate student submission, and faculty support and other operational and promotional costs associated with administration of the program.
