What Is Imagine Impact?
Imagine Impact is a content accelerator program that aims to cultivate and empower creative storytellers and bring the interests of creators and producers into alignment.
What happens during the Impact accelerator program?
During the Impact program, around 20 selected Creators are paired with a Shaper - a best in class screenwriters and showrunners - to take their projects from the idea stage to a fully-realized screen or series story. Shaper and Creator pairs meet twice weekly as the Creators hone their ideas into polished scripts and series bibles.
In addition, we host weekly dinners and lunches featuring keynote speakers and panels where Creators and Shapers can hear stories and receive advice from renown leaders of all industries in an informal, social setting.
The program culminates in Pitch Day, where the Creators pitch their project to a select group of buyers from all over Hollywood.
Are Creators paid?
Yes. Each Creator or Creative Team will be paid weekly for living expenses (up to $40,000) to make it possible for them to focus singularly on delivering their project in its most polished form.
Will someone buy my project at the end?
We cannot guarantee that your project will be bought at the end of the program, but completing Impact intends to set you up for further success as you continue your career in the industry.
If I get accepted into the program, who owns my project?
Impact Creators retain full creative control and ownership of their projects.
When does the next Impact start?
Impact 3 will begin in Los Angeles in Fall 2019.

I saw this in another group I partake in, but wasn't sure what it was. Thanks for the post, Erik Jacobsen .

Love the concept. A little challenging for me to live in L.A. for all that time. Happy for those, who will be entered.

Good luck to those entering! I'm finishing up the project I submitted last time (as an idea) so I'm probably gonna wait for the next go-round, provided they do another.
