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.

The goal of the production company is to feature our alumni in original content that is promoted and showcased at short film festivals and competitions.

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.
