Sloan Science in Cinema Fellows Selected to Develop Film Projects (EXCLUSIVE)
The San Francisco International Film Festival’s Sloan Science in Cinema Fellows have been announced, celebrating the intersection of film and science.
In partnership with the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation, these three creatives will be awarded $35,000 each and receive advisory feedback from scientists who are matched to their film’s topic to support the development of their narrative screenplays. The fellowship review committee said in a statement: “After a highly competitive cycle that saw more impressive applications than in years past, we are thrilled to have selected two outstanding projects that explore the intersection of science, technology, and socially urgent themes through bold and artful storytelling.” Crow and Rafailedes’s script “Satoshi” tells the “potentially true story of a teenage anime-obsessed hacktivist who, after losing her scholarship to Stanford, returns home to Arizona to become the mysterious inventor of a new digital currency called Bitcoin.”
