Gay sheep? The Museum of the Moving Image interviews Daniel Hirsch '17 about SHEEPISH, a winner of the 2017 Sloan/CMU Script Competition.
The Carnegie Mellon University School of Drama is one of six institutions chosen to participate in the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation Film School Awards. The competition presents $35,000 in prizes annually to current students in the Dramatic Writing program at CMU for their original screenplays or television pilots.
The competition encourages the MFA candidates to write scripts that will further the public understanding of science and technology. The Sloan Foundation's goal is to see the resulting scripts into commercial production at major studios and networks. To that end, it maintains development programs with the Tribeca, Sundance, and Hamptons film festivals.
