Funding opportunitiesBaumi Script Development Award

Baumi Script Development Award for the development of outstanding cinematic stories is targeted at German and international screenwriters who can apply with a treatment written in English. To be eligible for the Award, applicants must submit with a production company or must already have had at least one of their scripts filmed.

Applications are for feature films only (no documentaries, television formats or short-movies). You can apply with one project only. The BSDA gives financial support of 20.000 Euro for script development once a year. The prize money has to be used for further development of the script based on the treatment submitted. The award ceremony will be held at the upcoming Berlinale as part of the NRW Film Commission Press Lunch.
