Bet Networks and Paramount Players have revealed 10 semifinalists of Project Cre8, a nationwide search for the next big filmmaker, which was launched in January. These aspiring filmmakers are a step closer to the opportunity to produce a feature film with a million-dollar budget.
This initiative, which was announced at Sundance, aims to create opportunities for African American content creators both in front of and behind the camera in order to cultivate the next generation of minority creatives.
Each semifinalist was allocated a $2,500 budget to produced a 3-5 minutes scene from their original screenplay in one month. Bet will purchase the winning screenplay and work with the winner and Paramount Players to produce their original script. The scenes will be posted Bet.com/cre8 starting tomorrow, where the public can vote for their favorite.
