National fund Netherlands, Amsterdam
Run by Nederlands Filmfonds (Netherlands Film Fund)
Two years of script development money for a producer's whole slate rather than one film: up to EUR 420,000 to write four to six screenplays. For writers this means a company that holds slate funding can commission drafts without going back to the fund each time. The round announced in October 2026 closes March 9, 2027.
