CUPRA<\/strong> continues its mission to foster the next generation of storytellers with \u201cThe Dream Makers\u201d<\/strong>, two competitions that will put their talent under the spotlight. Together with Spanish film director and CUPRA Tribe member J.A Bayona and the Escola Superior de Cinema i Audiovisuals de Catalunya (ESCAC), the brand is not only opening the stage to creativity, it is also committed to bringing the dreams of young talent to life.<\/strong><\/p>\n \u201cFor CUPRA, these competitions are about more than just an award; they are about inspiring the next generation and giving an opportunity to young talent that has yet to be discovered. As someone who dreamed of directing, I am deeply committed to supporting the next generation of filmmakers,\u201d said Wayne Griffiths, CEO of CUPRA.<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n The Dream Makers: Short Film Contest<\/strong><\/b><\/p>\n This competition, aimed at young filmmakers between the ages of 22 and 30<\/strong>, seeks innovative, open-ended short film scripts. A distinguished jury, made up of Wayne Griffiths; Oscar-nominated film director, J.A. Bayona; acclaimed Hollywood actor and Oscar nominee, Daniel Br\u00fchl; ESCAC director, Sergi Casamitjana; ESCAC development director, Aintza Serra; and Sitges Film Festival director, \u00c1ngel Sala, will pre-select ten projects. Subsequently, it will choose a winner from among the five finalists.<\/p>\n Finalists will compete for the grand prize: the production of the winning project and the opportunity to make their mark in the film industry. In line with CUPRA’s commitment to challenge the status quo, proposals will be evaluated for their boldness, vision and original approach. The winning project will be announced during the Sitges Film Festival 2024<\/strong>, to be held between October 3 and 13.<\/p>\n Projects can be submitted from June 3 to 9, 2024 through the form available<\/a> on the ESCAC website. All the information about the \u201cShort Film Contest\u201d and its rules are available at this link.<\/a><\/p>\n \u201cThis competition is a tribute to the power of film and its ability to inspire us all. For me it is an honor to mentor the next generation of filmmakers and lead them from script to screen. Together with CUPRA and ESCAC, we are supporting young talent, because we were all young talents once,\u201d added Spanish filmmaker and CUPRA brand ambassador J.A. Bayona.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n \u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n The Dream Makers: Film Studies Contest<\/strong><\/b><\/p>\n Additionally, CUPRA and J.A. Bayona will invite young filmmakers between the ages of 17 and 21 to participate in another competition in which they must submit a short film on specific themes. The winner will receive a full scholarship to develop their filmmaking talent at ESCAC. In July, CASA SEAT<\/strong> will host the presentation of the project, where the details of the \u201cFilm Studies Contest\u201d<\/strong> will be explained.<\/p>\n \u00a1We look forward with great excitement to all your nominations!<\/strong><\/p>\n \n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The Dream Makers initiative presents two competitions to find and encourage young creative talent in film, providing funding to produce a short film and a scholarship for film studies at ESCAC.
