ELEVATOR is a brand new development programme that seeks to identify and support up to twenty emerging and diverse female and non-binary writers and directors.

ELEVATOR will be open to female and non-binary talent only, but the further goal for the programme is to actively seek out and support a deeper range of under-represented and emerging voices. ELEVATOR are looking for and wish to nurture members of the LGBTIQ+ community, people of colour and yalents with disabilities, and those from under-represented groups and diverse socio-economic backgrounds who may not be aware of the career opportunities available to them to access the screen industry. ELEVATOR is also focusing on regional voices, setting out to have half of its participants based outside of the Dublin region. Applicants will be required to submit an idea / project that they wish to develop and pitch across the initiative.
