The Black List is partnering with the New
Zealand Film Commission (NZFC) for the Black List New Zealand
Project (BLNZP), an initiative that will fund:
- Assessment of your feature film script by the
Black List's assessors;
- Attendance at a virtual Workshop and
Mentorship series designed and hosted by the Black List;
- NZFC Development Financing of up to
NZ$25,000.
All submitted projects will receive two
written assessments from the Black List.
The BLNZP has two stages.
- Assessment - the Black List will assess each
submitted script against the assessment criteria in the
guidelines. A shortlist of 20 projects will then be assessed
by the BLNZP Panel with six projects selected to move to the next
stage.
- Workshop and Mentorship Series - the Black
List will host the filmmakers from each of the six selected
projects for a virtual workshop and mentorship series over the
course of a month.
