To qualify, you need to submit the following:
(1) A series overview (up to four pages)
(2) A current C.V.
(3) A project proof of concept in the form of one (1) of the following: (a) a produced comedy pilot and/or series (up to 20 minutes), (b) a produced “in progress” work (minimum four minutes), OR (c) a paper-developed format (up to eight pages)
