Open for Submissions – Athena Lab for Emerging Women Screenwriters

The Athena Film Festival has opened our submissions for the Lab at the Athena Film Festival at Barnard College. This three-day lab consists of intensive script development with seasoned mentors. It is designed for women writers who have not yet had a feature-length fictional script produced. Screenplays must include one or more strong woman character(s) in leadership roles at the center of the story and must be feature-length narratives.
The 2020 Lab is February 26-28, 2020, in New York City.
Submissions accepted September 15- October 15, 2019.
