Storytelling Fellows

ScreenDaily reports that the Sundance Institute and Time Warner have chosen playwrights Quincy Long and Matthew Paul Olmos, and filmmakers Ritesh Batra and Elgin James as the 2009 Time Warner Storytelling Fellows.

The Time Warner Storytelling Advancement Fund, established in 2007, provides support over four years to help fund the development and celebration of independent artists across Sundance Institute’s Feature Film and Theatre Programmes.

Time Warner Storytelling Fellows receive grants enabling them to focus on the advancement of the narrative and voice in their projects. Fellows receive a combination of year-round guidance, residency support, mentoring and professional development.
