Are you an emerging screenwriter with a powerful voice and a unique story that increases the representation of women and non-binary people on screen?

Moonshot is thrilled to announce our brand-new Feature Accelerator, designed to elevate and spotlight talented writers like you! Eight fellows will be selected to receive 3 weeks of virtual training before pitching one-on-one to major studios, production companies, reps and more.

We're expanding our support to the world of feature films as a way of building on the success of our acclaimed Moonshot Pilot Accelerator. Over the past three years, we’ve helped 24 emerging TV writers craft and polish their pitches and learn about the industry from experts in their fields. We then set them up on one-on-one meetings with major players like HBO, Netflix, Hulu, Starz, Showtime, and many more. Now, we’re bringing that same opportunity to feature film writers!
