Deadline: 5 September 2024
The Emerging Filmmaker fellowship provides one filmmaker with a yearlong mentorship, including edit and story consultation, networking opportunities, and a cash award.
In addition, the fellowship includes a trip to Telluride during the festival over Memorial Day weekend, covering travel, lodging and a Mountainfilm pass.
If you are an early-career filmmaker, please indicate that you would like to be considered for the Emerging Filmmaker Fellowship as well. You are considered “emerging” if you are working on your first or second feature film, or your first short film.
