TV Series Concept Submissions Grant

We are accepting submissions for a TV series concept: If you have a smart, cinematic, serialized comedy series for adults. They can even be dark comedies, genre comedies or dramedies as long as they have original and compelling concepts and characters. 


Think high budget, premium shows that that you might see on pay cable (or that might even feel like movies). We tend to like shows that take place in specific, unique worlds.
Pilot scripts can be live action or animated and should be under 30 minutes long. We encourage single-cam scripts to be under 36 single-spaced pages.
$10,000 option extension if we put your project on our Development Slate. $55,000 if we distribute it as a series
