New York University
To support screenwriting and production of science and technology films and games by top film and game design students
This grant provides ongoing support to the Sloan Film Program at New York University’s Tisch School of the Arts (NYU), which will develop science screenplays and produce short science or technology-themed films and games over the next three years. Grant funds will allow NYU to maintain three screenplay awards, one production award, and one gaming award each year, while providing every project with a science advisor. To increase the number of high-quality screenplay submissions during this grant cycle, NYU will select five writing finalists to receive $1,000 in the fall and will provide each finalist with support to refine their submissions from screenwriting faculty and science mentors.
