The screenwriting award is offered to exceptional feature-length or episodic television scripts that accurately depict scientific stories or themes. The production award provides funds to produce a short film that centers science and technology themes or characters. The tuition award is for a prospective student with a science background who is transitioning to a film career. The development award provides financial support and mentorship for graduating Fellows developing science-based projects for the commercial film market, with the intent of pitching, optioning, and/or selling a scripted feature or series. AFI will also continue to host annual Sloan Seminars featuring screenings of films followed by discussions with accomplished filmmakers and scientists about the science and technology themes in the films.
