Are you the next Baz Luhrmann, Quentin Tarantino or Martin Scorsese? The Sydney Film Festival has opened applications to its largest cash fellowship for short film in Australia.
Along with the whopping $200,000 up for grabs, the festival is also giving away four cash fellowships of $50,000 through the 2018 Lexus Australia Short Film Fellowship.
So, if you need a cash infusion to help make your dreams a reality this may be the break you are looking for.
Submissions are open until August 24. Entries are free. To be eligible, you will need to enter the Lexus Short Films competition, the winners of which will collaborate with The Weinstein Company on a film project.
Australian actor and director Damian Walshe-Howling, winner of the Lexus Short Series (the international version of the Fellowship) says:
“The competition allowed me to write and direct my third film concept MESSiAH,in collaboration with The Weinstein Company, travel around the world for premieres at international Festivals – including our World Premiere at Sydney Film Festival, make invaluable connections, and ultimately to discover so much more about the filmmaking process,”
Finalists will be announced in November 2017, with the Lexus Australia Short Film Fellows announced in June 2018.
