IMAGINE THE FUTURE: AND MAKE IT ENTERTAINING
Pitch Your (Future) Hit Anti-Dystopia Series!

What if one of the most powerful climate actions wasn’t a policy paper — but a hit series?

As part of Boston Climate Week, the Net Zero Institute (NZI) is sponsoring a $1,000 grant and the Boston International Film Festival is donating festival passes valued at $500. Additional supporters include the Venture Café Cambridge, CEREs, and Kearney.
We welcome submissions of original videos OR TV show pitches, scripts or short stories adaptable to a series that imagines a future worth living in — and watching.
Imagine a better world. Then make us binge it.
