We ask for a small application fee of €15 (incl. BTW) to cover administrative costs and to encourage candidates to take their application seriously. The fellowship has the potential to be a life-changing experience and requires a commitment of your time and energy. If you don’t think your application is ready, then we encourage you to take your time and wait for the next opportunity to enter.

The New Producers Academy Fellowship Program is an 18-month fellowship and looks as following:

  • May 2023 – December 2023 academy training and workshops;
  • January 2024 – May 2024 gaining experience under the lead of an established producer;
  • June 2024 – December 2024 Start production of the NPA short.
  • We expect to announce our 2022 New Producers – at the latest- by the end of April 2022.
  • Unfortunately, we are unable to respond to unsuccessful applications.

Selection

  • We have an independent selection committee consisting of leading Dutch and international producers to assess applications and ultimately select five lucky applicants;
  • These members will be appointed on the basis of their experience;
  • The committee will be diverse in terms of personal and cultural background, so each committee member can judge the applications from a relevant perspective;
  • The New Producers Academy prioritises the international reputation of Dutch films, which is why part of the selection committee will also have considerable international production experience.

A small selection committee will chose the most relevant profiles based on:

  • Motivation and creative ambition;
  • Profile and background;
  • Demonstrated storytelling talent;
  • Entrepreneurial skills;
  • Project plan.

 

The committee will invite a short-list of candidates for a video interview to get to know them better and a decision will be made on our final five New Producers.
