MPA/APSA SCRIPT SUPPORT
The Motion Picture Association and the Asia Pacific Screen Awards (APSA) have opened the 2026 MPA APSA Academy Film Fund, offering five $10,000 script development grants to filmmakers across the Asia Pacific region. The announcement came during MPA American Film Night in Bangkok, paired this year with MPA Thailand Success Stories at the Rosewood Hotel.
Now in its 17th cycle, the grant is reserved for APSA Academy members and their collaborators. Sompot Chidgasornpongse, a 2021 recipient whose grant came through producer Apichatpong Weerasethakul, unveiled the 2026 edition; the resulting film, “9 Temples to Heaven,” premiered in Cannes’ Directors’ Fortnight sidebar this year.
