About ShortCuts
ShortCuts is a film program designed to propel the careers of promising playwrights who want to pursue a career in screenwriting. From assembling teams through distribution, BC will provide the funding, tools, and industry partnerships necessary to fully realize a professional quality short film.
​
How it Works
On This Page:
Announce Directors
ShortCuts brings on 5 dynamic filmmakers who want to collaborate with emerging screenwriters. Each director will be announced on our website so writers can view their potential collaborators.
​
Submissions Open
Playwrights from around the country are encouraged to submit their short screenplays through our online application.
​
Select Screenplays
Five screenplays are selected for production. Each writer will have the opportunity to discuss potential collaborations with our filmmakers before pairings are set.
Produce Films
Blue Collaborative assembles production teams and provides an estimated budget of $5,000 - $10,000 for each film. Our producing team will guide each project from pre-production through post-production .
​
Distribute Films
Our marketing and distribution team will facilitate submissions for each film to various festivals and online platforms to get the most exposure possible. Additionally, BC will host a screening in New York City for donors, crews, and invited industry contacts.
Too repetitive to use "collaborators" twice?
