Welcome to the 2011 Sloan Film Summit

The 2011 Sloan Film Summit brings to New York the exciting new work of over 100 emerging screenwriters and filmmakers from six film schools, three film festivals and four screenwriting development programs funded by the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation.

Each year over 20 of the best film students at the nation's leading film schools receive screenwriting prizes and production grants ranging from $7,500 - $30,000 for incorporating science and technology into their films. In 2011, a new, annual $50,000 Student Grand Jury Prize was established for the single best script from all six film schools with the goal of shepherding it to production.
