EXCLUSIVE: The Natural Resources Defense Council, The Black List, The Redford Center and the CAA Foundation have announced the opening of submissions for the third cycle of their NRDC Climate Storytelling Fellowship, for the year 2024.
A first-of-its-kind program supporting screenplays or pilots that engage with climate change in a meaningful and unique way, the fellowship has thus far supported half a dozen writers through grant funding and mentorship from creative professionals, as well as script feedback from NRDC’s team of climate experts.
For this cycle, NRDC will also cover the cost of one month of hosting and one evaluation on the Black List website for all qualified screenplays. “The fellowship is part of NRDC’s Rewrite the Future program, which helps Hollywood tell stories about climate change and environmental justice,” said NRDC director of entertainment partnerships and fellowship founder Katy Jacobs. “We want to support great stories that engage with the personal and global impacts of our climate-altered world to help audiences reflect and find inspiration to build a better future.” Each 2024 fellow will receive a $20,000 grant, as well as mentorship and creative support from industry professionals in further developing their climate stories, with mentors for this cycle to be announced next spring.
Mentors from the 2022 and 2023 cycles have included Pamela Adlon (Better Things), Dorothy Fortenberry (Extrapolations), Roxane Gay (World of Wakanda), Sarah Treem (The Affair), Scott Z.
