Stowe Story Labs and Tangerine Entertainment have announced that the application period for the second annual Tangerine Fellowship for an Outstanding Female Screenwriter is now open. The goal of the fellowship is to “advance the project and career of a talented female writer.”
The year-long fellowship includes full tuition for the September 2016 Stowe Story Labs Narrative Workshop and the 2017 Spring Writers’ Retreat, mentoring from the Tangerine Entertainment team, and other benefits, including a copy of Final Draft 9.
Mentors for this spring’s retreat include the team from Tangerine (Amy Hobby, Anne Hubbell and Elizabeth Kaiden), as well as award-winning screenwriter Austin Chick (“XX/YY,” “August”), award-winning casting director Ellen Parks (“Secretary,” “Sideways”), Parts & Labor development executive Lauren Haber (“Adventureland,” “Beginners,” “The Messenger”), award-winning creative and executive producer Paul Miller (“Lone Star,” “The Secret of Roan Inish,” “Snow Angels”) and producer and production counsel Jonathan Gray (“Station Agent,” “Precious,” “Birth of a Nation”).
“We are pleased to expand our work with Stowe Story Labs and offer this important opportunity to emerging women writers,” said Tangerine partner and creative producer Anne Hubbell. “The Labs and Retreat help emerging screenwriters hone their craft and develop skills critical to succeeding in the industry,” added Hubbell. “And it’s fun as hell.”
“I cannot say enough how much we love partnering with Tangerine,” commented David Rocchio, founder and president of Stowe Story Labs. “As mentors, the Tangerine team brings so much experience, wisdom and intelligence to the hard work of getting films made.
The 2015 Tangerine Fellow Jodi Gibson shared, “I came away from the Labs with a solid pitch and a plan for packaging my project with next steps. I made friends and met — I hope — future collaborators for a lifetime. Thank you.”
