The BIPOC Sci-Fi Special Edition is an expansion of our BIPOC Sci-Fi Screenwriters Lab, aimed at providing further support and opportunities for marginalized voices in the film industry.
Alumni of Justice for My Sister’s BIPOC Sci-fi Screenwriters Lab can now apply to the BIPOC Sci-Fi Special Edition Program. The program offers guidance and support to turn their TV pilot into a short film script.
Up to 20 California based BIPOC Sci-fi Lab Alumni will take part in this 5-week virtual workshop, where they will write a short script based on their pilot, create a pitch deck, and budget for a proof-of-concept short film.
Mentors will provide feedback in small groups, and participants will learn how to fundraise for their projects.
Requirements:
Young adults 18+ years old.
Must be Black, Indigenous, and/or a Person of Color.
Must be an BIPOC Sci-fi Screenwriting Lab Alumnus.
