ABOUT THE MOONSHOT PILOT ACCELERATOR:
We’ll select 6-8 fellows out of hundreds of submissions with the help of industry judges including showrunners and high-level TV writers (semi-finalists get read by TWO industry judges, and we facilitate connections with judges who want to meet you!)
Our selected fellows will attend a 3-week virtual intensive on pitching and the industry, learning directly from development execs, showrunners, a speech coach, a manager, an agent, and an entertainment lawyer.
Finally, they’ll pitch one-on-one to major companies and representatives including Netflix, HBO, Element, Yes Norman, Level Forward, Atlantic Pictures, and many more to be announced! Companies have included Hulu, Showtime, Starz, Warner Bros., Amazon Prime Video, Neon, Broadway Video, Fabel, Berlanti, Blumhouse and many more.
One of our past fellows recently sold a project to a production company she met during our Accelerator!
Our fellows join a strong network of their peers, with regular alumni meetings to grow their bonds and connect with other cohorts. We’ve even had one alum hire another into a writers’ room!
