We’re proud to announce the 2021 Feature Retreat & Fellowship Contest finalists!

A PARTICULARLY POWERFUL SEASON OF SCRIPTS

This continues to be a powerful year for submissions. Our semifinalist scripts were so exceptional that we’ve named nine finalists instead of our usual eight. Many thanks to our judges for their dedicated work in narrowing down this competitive field of incredible screenplays.

WHAT’S NEXT

Each of the finalists will be considered for this year’s Fellowship, which is valued at $20,000 and includes, among other prizes, $10,000 and a year long mentorship with two entertainment industry professionals. We also will name second and third place winners. For more information about prizes for each winner, please visit our Features Prizes page.

Congratulations to this year’s feature finalists, and please check back in early September, when we’ll announce our winners and our feature fellow!
