The trinidad+tobago film festival and bpTT have launched a search for the Best TT Film in Development, which comes with the chance to win a cash prize of $10,000, towards the completion of the film.
Sponsored by bpTT, the award is for a narrative or documentary feature film in pre-production.
According to Danielle Jones, Manager, Corporate Communications at BPTT, “The Award is part of BPTT’s continuing investment in the cultural sector of Trinidad and Tobago, as we recognise the enormous social and economic benefits that culture can offer to our country – including helping with economic diversification. Our long history of support for the arts includes the showcasing of local films through the trinidad+tobago film festival, investment in films that speak to, or support, our rich cultural traditions such as this year’s Green Days by the River and To Be a Renegade – and of course, supporting emerging filmmakers with great potential.”
To be eligible, applicants must be a citizen or resident of Trinidad and Tobago, and be working on a film that’s made in Trinidad and Tobago.
