Selected participants will be featured in our documentary, capturing real production environments and creative decision-making

Participants who advance will appear on our official podcast, streaming exclusively on the EBS streaming platform

The documentary and podcast serve as a proof-of-concept pitch to television networks

Once the TV series is picked up by a network, participants will receive stipends funded by the network during Season One

Compensation & Incentives:

Auditions are unpaid

Participants who win the competition and TV series will:

. Work on our first major independent film

. Receive 2% revenue participation from the film’s performance on the EBS streaming platform

. Revenue participation is paid for one (1) year

All terms will be secured through a formal contract to ensure professionalism, trust, and payment protection.

. Have experience with digital cinema cameras or professional video equipment
