I was excited to find out that Blank Canvas, my short film script containing dialogue in verse – along with its accompanying production plan – was selected as a quarter-finalist in the ScreenCraft Film Fund Spring 2025. This year’s fund had 1100 submissions. ScreenCraft is an organisation that offers “production grants to talented creators for narrative features, short films, TV pilot series scripts, and documentaries that display originality, vision & exceptional potential”. Its film fund is a programme designed to help realise filmmakers’ ideas and connect them with companies looking for new stories to develop.
I received some great feedback on the script, which was especially encouraging as I know that verse dialogue is unusual as part of a film script. You can read more about Blank Canvas here
