Objective
The Ultimate Runway
Now in our 28th year, the Austin Film Festival has been catapulting writers into life-changing careers for over two decades. Whether your dream is to sign a contract, land an agent, learn from an industry icon, or take home the coveted Bronze Typewriter Award, it’s simple: you can’t win if you don’t enter.
Josephson Entertainment Screenwriting Fellowship
This opportunity will provide a one-on-one mentorship in Los Angeles for two fellows – one writer or writing team with a feature script and one writer or writing team with a teleplay pilot – selected from the Final Round of this year’s competition. Fellows will be chosen based on the writers and scripts that imbue the most promise for development.

Austin Fest Announces AMC as New Sponsor for One Hour Pilot Award
Austin Film Festival (AFF) has announced that AMC is the official sponsor and judge for the One-Hour Pilot Award of the 2013 Teleplay Competition. The AMC One-Hour Pilot Award is open to any pilot script written in the one-hour format for an original television series. AMC will review the top scripts submitted in the category and will determine the semifinalists, finalists, and winner. Finalists will be given the opportunity to meet with a representative from AMC during this year's Conference (October 24-27) or over the phone at a later date. The winner of the One-Hour Pilot Award will receive a prize package including $1,000, reimbursement for airfare (up to $500) and hotel (up to $500) for attendance to the Festival and Conference, and the bronze AFF Typewriter Award.
"Each of AMC's series has started with an original vision from the great writer that defied expectations," said Susie Fitzgerald, AMC's SVP of Scripted Programming. "The network is honored to sponsor the AFF's One-Hour Pilot Award as it recognizes talent from this community and helps foster a new generation of great writers."
