Here are the 40 scripts chosen as our Moonshot Feature Accelerator quarter-finalists!
We received over 300 submissions for the inaugural Moonshot Feature Accelerator, and we recently announced our 40 quarter-finalists!
These Moonshot Feature Accelerator quarter-finalists were chosen based on the strength of their feature scripts, their answers to our application questions, and a 2-minute pitch video introducing their project.
Next, our team will be selecting the 15 scripts that will advance to the semi-final round. Each of our semi-finalists will have their script read by two of our industry judges. Plus, they'll be invited to an exclusive virtual networking event.
Our judges will lend their expertise from years working in the industry to select our finalists.
Finally, we will choose our 6-8 fellows! These fellows will hone their pitches and gain industry knowledge from our guest experts. Then, they'll have the opportunity to pitch to major companies and representatives during Pitch Week this spring. Companies hearing pitches include HBO, Max, Netflix, Neon, Berlanti Productions, Level Forward, Fusion Studios, Yes, Norman Productions, The Film Sales Company, Activist Artists Management, SSS Entertainment, and more.
