Open to writers from backgrounds underrepresented in film and television who have talent and professional ambition. The scholarship will fund three months of coaching for one writer from a disadvantaged background who otherwise couldn’t afford it, working on one developed script.
This will take the form of three monthly video-call sessions with your coach to discuss your script and your development strategy.
The scholarship is open to anyone from an underrepresented background in the film and television industry. This may include your socioeconomic background, ethnicity, gender, sexuality, disability and illness or might include an underrepresented demographic, such as being from a traveller community or growing up in care. You must be aged over 18 and a UK resident.
We are unable to accept theatre scripts, short films, prose, poetry or other types of writing at this time.
