snarky elephant productions creative incubator

The SEP Creative Incubator is a space for film creatives within the media and entertainment industry hoping to tell their unique stories. This artist incubator provides support and guidance, providing the tools to develop and produce authentic content from underrepresented voices. We look for content that is either narrative or documentary and can be either short or long form (examples include a narrative TV series, a feature-length documentary, or a short film).

We support our creators in financing their projects (via grant writing, crowdfunding, and/or private investment), finding legal support, assisting with strategic branding and marketing efforts, and more. Our creators are also given access to a wide variety of industry executives and professionals, ranging from film/tv executives, theater artists, agents/management, and award-winning entertainment creatives.

WE ARE ESPECIALLY INTERESTED IN: • BIPOC and/or LGBTQIA+ creatives • Narratives that capture underrepresented experiences, communities, and outlooks • Narratives that feature bold and unusual shifts in perspectives that are rarely seen in Hollywood • Narratives that dare to point out the inconvenient truths and seek to change stigma, alienation, racism, homophobia, and other global sensitivities

DEADLINES: First due date is at 11:59 PM EST on the 15th of September Late due date is at 11:59 PM EST on the 1st of October
