Condé Nast Entertainment Debuts a New Incubator Series to Help Discover Young Filmmakers

Indigenous Media, Josh Hutcherson joined CNE to produce 5 shorts

In 2016, there were 38 movie sequels or franchise reboots in theaters.

This year, Condé Nast Entertainment is doing its part to make sure up-and-coming indie filmmakers get their chance to shine. CNE partnered with Indigenous Media for a film incubator series called The Big Script to discover new directors and writers. The Big Script was also produced by actor Josh Hutcherson, his mother Michelle and their company, Turkeyfoot Productions.

After narrowing down thousands of scripts collected on The Black List, an online database of mostly feature-length screenplays from undiscovered writers, Indigenous Media worked with the five finalists to turn their scripts into short films.
