NewFilmmakers Los Angeles (NFMLA) has returned to present a fourth year of NewNarratives, a content program built to identify emerging global artists by tapping into NFMLA’s community and extensive pool of artistic talent. The NewNarratives initiative advances, funds and amplifies unique, innovative creators whose narratives, stories, and characters transcend borders and dismantle convention. The 2024 edition has been made possible thanks to support from the Rhulen Family Foundation in honor of the late independent film producer Anthony Rhulen.
NewNarratives seeks to discover original, authentic work with a strong point of view and identify compelling storytelling that speaks to contemporary themes in innovative and resonant ways. Free from any set parameters on theme and genre, episodic or feature film concepts that push convention are at the program’s core.
NewNarratives will award $20,000 USD in total funding, made up of four (4) artist grants in the amount of $5,000 USD each to support new work. Program applications are open to members of NFMLA now, with a submission deadline of August 29th, 2024.
Program and submission information is available at www.NFMLA.org/NewNarratives.
