Shorts Créer

A dream come true for short filmmakers ??? Filmmaker in Chief is a one-of-a-kind opportunity giving artists across the country the chance to win up to $50,000 to direct, produce and edit a short film while living rent-free at in Lower Manhattan. The recipient of this unique creative residency will also be given a monthly living stipend, access to pre-production resources and a full editing suite. We're giving our Filmmaker in Chief full creative freedom with just one requirement: their film must feature Lower Manhattan, whether as a backdrop for a dramatic short, the subject of a documentary or simply a (visible) source of inspiration. Anyone who has walked the winding, historic streets of this neighborhood already knows that it feels like being dropped onto a movie set. We're excited to see how the winning filmmaker brings that reality to the big screen. We are accepting submissions - in the form of a 3-5 page written treatment and a 1-minute video submission - until February 16th. Learn more and apply today at filmdowntown.nyc
