Fellowship or lab Park City, United States
Sundance Institute Development Track (Screenwriters Lab, Screenwriters Intensive, Sloan Fellowship and Commissioning Grant)

One application to Sundance Institute's Feature Film Program puts an unfinished fiction feature up for the January Screenwriters Lab, the online Screenwriters Intensive in March, and the Sloan awards for science stories. The first round asks for five script pages and a set of written answers, so a draft need not be finished to start.
