THE SNARKY CREATOR APPLICATION:
We are looking for innovative television and film creators whose stories capture experiences and perspectives rarely depicted on screen.
As you answer the questions, please carefully read our mission statement, peruse our website, and see below.
WE ARE ESPECIALLY INTERESTED IN:
• BIPOC and/or LGBTQIA+ creatives
• Narratives that capture underrepresented experiences, communities, and outlooks
• Narratives that feature bold and unusual shifts in perspectives that are rarely seen in Hollywood
• Narratives that dare to point out the inconvenient truths and seek to change stigma, alienation, racism, homophobia, and other global sensitivities
SUBMISSION FEE:
• $25 for the August 15th deadline
• $35 for the September 1st late deadline
We understand that film and television visionaries often experience great financial challenges as they are trying to develop their work and careers. In light of this, we are offering to waive our fee for those who fit this category. Please reach out to
[email protected] if this applies to you and our team is happy to discuss this with you.
We will not consider your application if you have not paid the application fee or had the fee waived.
SEP produces emotionally rich visual content that explores the under-represented human experience. Through scripted and unscripted content, we champion emerging creators whose identities inspire them to defy societal barriers to educate and shift established standards. Our intention is to change company cultures, the entertainment industry, and larger global sensitivities with darkly amusing, inventive stories that chronicle the complexities of the human spirit.
Should you have any additional materials (video samples, teasers, trailers, sizzle reels, etc) that can demonstrate your project (or projects), please supply a link via Google Drive, DropBox, YouTube, or a similar platform where they can be viewed.
