Shore Scripts Names Short Film Fund Winners

Shore Scripts has named their latest Production Grant and Finishing Fund winners:

GRAND PRIZE WINNER - PRODUCTION GRANT

KNOW YOUR LIGHTS
written by Al Benoit
In a Mexican-American neighborhood in Chicago, a young girl investigates mysterious “lights” that seem to make people disappear—only to realize the true danger stalking her community isn’t supernatural at all.

As the Grand Prize Winner, Al will receive a $15,000 cash production grant, project and career guidance with producer Maria Gracia Turgeon, free camera equipment rental from ARRI Rental, a film festival strategy package with Kimberley Browning, and production support and script development from the team at Shore Scripts.

FINISHING FUNDS WINNER

MATANDO MOSCAS
written & directed by Ericka Lavin Trapped in monotony, a disillusioned office worker hires a hitman to kill him—only to discover that fate has a darker sense of humor.

As the Finishing Funds Winner, Ericka will receive $4,000 cash for finishing funds, project and career guidance with producer Maria Gracia Turgeon, a film festival strategy package with Kimberley Browning, and post-production support from our team at Shore Scripts. They will also have an opportunity for their completed film to be sent to the Shore Scripts Industry Roster.
