The Golden Arc Honors Film Project
Turn recognition into production.
One of the defining features of Golden Arc Honors. Rather than limiting selected major-category recognition to a traditional cash prize, selected winners are offered the opportunity to develop and produce an original film under a formal two-year production agreement.
