We're delighted to share exciting news with you: we’re now in advanced talks with a large international production company/mini-studio which will hopefully produce, in the early months of next year, a first-look deal with them for Rocaberti-curated stories – that is, your projects!

To this end, we’ve decided to bring forward our annual Scholarship Contest and strongly encourage you to submit screenplays and TV pilots with a positive, uplifting message and/or which end on a note of hope for the contest.

We’ll be awarding 2 Full Scholarships to our Castle Retreats in France and Italy: https://rocabertiwriters.com/retreats/
