The Tribeca Film Institute-Sloan Student Grand Jury Prize is awarded
annually to the best screenplay from amongst those that have received a
Sloan award during the year. Six graduate film programs award Sloan
screenwriting grants. The Grand Jury Prize is a $30,000 cash prize plus
$20,000 in mentoring from the Tribeca Film Institute (TFI) as well as
from scientists and industry professionals.
On March 16, Annie Pulsipher from Carnegie Mellon University was
awarded the prize for her script THE GLOWING GENE. A reception followed at The Park on 10th Avenue in Chelsea, which had specialty cocktails for each drink (“The Glowing Gene” had a fluorescent green straw.)
