new york conservatory productions
In 2019, The New York Conservatory opened a content production company with the goal of showcasing our graduates and their work, and helping to move their careers forward.
Every year*, we solicit scripts for short films to produce and promote — each with a production budget of up to $15,000, and casts comprised exclusively of New York Conservatory graduates. Each film will be entered into 15-20 short film festivals, and receive a promotional budget.
*All funds for the 2023 calendar year have been expended. Please continue to check back for when additional funding will be released.
