Applications may be found here.

The goal of the Spotlight Award is to highlight up-and-coming local talent, giving them the tools to create a professional short film to act as a "calling card" to help jumpstart their filmmaking career. The winning project shall be selected based on strength of the script, artistic content and overall feasibility of completion. Please visit the Spotlight page for more details.
