NZWG and New Zealand Film Commission are excited to announce that Seed & Seed Advanced is now open.

Seed & Seed Advanced are screenwriter-only feature film script development grants.

Seed Grants allow writers to be innovative, brilliant, and to create something they own. The writer is the rights holder, and not working with a producer in early development.

Seed is open to emerging writers who haven’t yet written and had a feature film produced.

The initiative offers 6 x Seed Grants of $10,000 – includes $2,500 for script consultation and 2 x Seed Advanced Grants of $12,500 – includes $2,500 for script development.
