Today we announce the semifinalists for the inaugural Orb Media China-Hollywood Screenwriting Fellowship. These writers comprise approximately the top 10% of applicants. The finalists and recipients will be selected and announced in the next few weeks.

Orb Media Group and its partners will financially back and develop the projects for production and distribution with partners in China and the United States. The recipients will be provided with round-trip travel to the Shanghai International Film Festival in June 2018 to participate in special training and mentorship programs in partnership with the Shanghai Film School.
