Museum of the Moving Image and Alfred P. Sloan Foundation Announce Student Prize Winners (Exclusive)
The Museum of the Moving Image and the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation announced 2022 award recipients from the Sloan Film Program on Friday. A pilot script titled “Until Then We Keep Breathing” by UCLA student Samantha Sewell and a feature script called “Woodside” by Florida State University student Gerard Shaka were among the projects recognized.
“While the four honored scripts (two winners and two honorable mentions) deal with a broad range of settings, genres, and scientific and technological themes — from cystic fibrosis and congenital disability to climate change and permafrost, from marine conservation and mangrove systems to IVF and reproductive medicine — all of the stories evoke the formative and central role of families and family relationships in the lives of their protagonists,” wrote Doron Weber, vice president and program director at the Sloan Foundation. “They are quintessentially human stories about how nature shapes us and how science and technology seek to reshape nature.
