Sundance Collab x TikTok Micro-Series Challenge

Sundance Collab and TikTok have teamed up to discover bold creators pushing the boundaries of short-form storytelling. An industry jury will select five finalists to receive $5,000 each, a Sundance Collab course package, and a guided online workshop with a Sundance Collab advisor before pitching live to the TikTok team in November.

Applicants need to submit scripts for the first 30 episodes of their series along with a series bible, character bios, and a logline, so this is a heavier lift than a typical short-form pitch.

Open to creators worldwide who are ready to redefine short-form storytelling.

• Must submit scripts for the first 30 episodes of the proposed series, plus a series bible, character bios, and a logline.
• Two-person teams may apply together and will share the $5,000 award.
• By entering, applicants grant TikTok a 21-day first-look opportunity on the series idea.
