The Saul Zaentz Innovation Fund in Film and Media at Johns Hopkins University will continue its mission of empowering innovative audiovisual artists in Baltimore with its third Incubator program. As the Fund approaches its first anniversary – a year in which it contributed $195,000 to the development and production of 10 film, television, virtual reality and technology-centered projects and provided mentorship and production assistance to 37 artists – it is accepting applications for the 2017 Bold Voices, New Paradigms Incubator. The Incubator will feature a Screenplay Lab, Documentary Lab, a Mentorship Program and two Brain Trust Meetings.
“Baltimore and the Johns Hopkins community are rich with artists, entrepreneurs and storytellers with unique voices and projects. Today, these essential voices are more important than ever,” said Roberto Busó-García, director of the Fund and the University’s Master of Arts in Film and Media program. “Our 2017 development and production programs will build upon the success of our inaugural year as we continue to fuel the growth of the film and media industry in Baltimore.”
There is a $30 deposit required to be able to showcase in the show.

From Art F City: We’re seeking world-wide contributions from artists, writers, curators, and others affected by the travel ban who want to keep working. We’ll do what we can to support that effort, because what you do is now more important than ever.
This could be an IMG MGMT essay, a review of an exhibition or art fair in a city where you now have an unexpectedly long layover, or a personal narrative about how your life/practice has been affected by this fuckery. Stuck in an airport? Make something creative in the terminal and send it our way. Are you and a friend stranded in a strange city? If you’re in the mood, hit up some galleries and write up a We Went To. Basically, we’re open.
To everyone cut off from your loved ones, home, studio, and/or livelihood—we can’t begin to imagine how awful this is. Know that we’re heartbroken and mad as hell too. So, let’s work together. If you offer your voice, we will make its not only heard but supported.
Please send all commission pitches to submissions@artfcity.com, with the subject heading “Fuck Donald Trump”. Pitches should include an explanation of how you have been affected and what you would like to produce for AFC. Pitches should reflect the urgency of the times and your situation. Our first month’s submission deadline will be Wednesday February 15th.
