Scriptapalooza Fellowship (1)

Festival start: 01 September 2015      Festival end: 31 October 2015

Scriptapalooza Fellowship

The fellowship program was developed to honor dedicated writers and to help further their creative process and skills. Writing in itself is a journey and we would like to facilitate the process by giving the fellows the opportunity to be surrounded by like-minded professionals and individuals.

The 2016 Scriptapalooza Fellowship recipient will receive a Writer’s Retreat in Costa Rica for 5 days (all expenses paid), and 6 month mentorship.

5 additional writers will receive an online writing course, $1,000 and 3 month mentorship.

Everyone that applies to the Fellowship gets feedback on their screenplay. (4-5 pages of notes)

You must be 18 or older to apply.

Your script must be in English. All genres are accepted.

We only accept feature film screenplays between 80-140 pages.

This is an international Fellowship, we do accept scripts from around the world.
