Seed & Seed Advanced are screenwriter-only feature film script development grants. There are two pathways available in the grants, Seed & Seed Advanced.
Seed is open to emerging writers who haven’t yet written and had a feature film produced.
Seed Advanced is aimed at reducing competition in the Seed pathway, by separating emerging writers from more experienced writers. It is open to established writers who have more than 90 minutes of scripted broadcast credits.
