AWARDED TO A WOMAN-IDENTIFYING WRITER WITH AN INTEREST IN DIRECTING
The County Road 13 fellowship is funded by Stowe Story Labs alum, Teresa Warner. This fellowship is dedicated to an emerging woman-identifying screenwriter who has an interest in directing. No directing experience is required. This fellowship will cover the fee to attend one of Stowe's Narrative Labs plus an up to $1,500 travel/lodging stipend and an ongoing mentoring session after the program. In order to be considered for the fellowship, you must submit a strong draft of a TV or Feature script.
“I became a part of the Stow Story Labs community in 2017 when I was invited to attend my first Narrative Lab. Over just a few short days I found one of the strongest writing communities in my life.
This is not just a community built on helping writers and filmmakers grow as artists. It is built on supporting each member in every aspect of life. Over many narrative labs and retreats, my craft as a filmmaker grew as did the number of friends and collaborators in this complicated art and business. When I decided to shoot my first short film, some of the first people I reached out to were friends I met at Stowe. And I had the confidence to shoot that film because of the mentorship I received through Stowe programs.
I am now so pleased to offer the County Road 13 Fellowship to a woman writer who hopes one day to direct. It is my way to give back to Stowe, and to honor my parents.
This fellowship is dedicated to them. Without their support I would have never started on this path, and now through the County Road 13 Fellowship their support will push forward.
May the County Road Fellows find the same level of support and mentorship through Stowe as I did, and through that grow as writers and filmmakers.” - Teresa Warner
