Objective
The Ultimate Runway
Now in our 27th year, the Austin Film Festival has been catapulting writers into life-changing careers for over two decades. Whether your dream is to sign a contract, land an agent, learn from an industry icon, or take home the coveted Bronze Typewriter Award, it’s simple: you can’t win if you don’t enter.
Josephson Entertainment Screenwriting Fellowship
This opportunity will provide a one-on-one mentorship in Los Angeles for two fellows – one writer or writing team with a feature script and one writer or writing team with a teleplay pilot – selected from the Final Round of this year’s competition. Fellows will be chosen based on the writers and scripts that imbue the most promise for development.

I find the Austin Film Festival unique in so many ways, from the Austin atmosphere that puts everyone at ease - I've crossed paths in the halls with major writers I've admired forever, introduced myself and chatted casually - to the one of a kind combo of contest and conference. Not to mention mouthwatering barbeque! This is Matt Dy's second year as the Screenplay and Teleplay Competition Director, but he's worked for AFF in a number of capacities over the past seven years. Matt studied screenwriting at the University of Texas at Austin and has written a number of screenplays. As the Director, he is responsible for recruiting readers and judges, and reading lots of scripts for the competition. Make that LOTS of scripts! It can be a stressful job, but he loves it.
