Administered by Realscreen, Propelle is a women-focused accelerator program launched in partnership with Abby Greensfelder’s Everywoman Studios (EWS). The goal of the program is to further develop the careers of up-and-coming women creators by pairing them with women-owned production companies and women CEOs for project workshopping and mentoring. With this program, women creators gain access to an established production company and a network of industry contacts, while learning how to develop ideas so that they are pitch ready and sellable.

This year, Propelle is welcoming a new partner to the fold for its next edition — A+E Networks. The partnership will see A+E Networks work with Everywoman Studios and Realscreen to determine which creators entering the program will move forward to be mentored by top women executives within the non-fiction and unscripted screen content industry.

2025 Mentors

A Winning Opportunity.

Women creators should submit an application through the entry form with a specific content idea. Ideas may be for an unscripted/non-fiction series or format, a nonfiction documentary/one-off program or feature documentary, or an unscripted/ documentary limited series. Finalists will be jointly selected by the Participating Mentors, Realscreen, A+E Networks and EWS. Each finalist will be PAIRED WITH a Mentor, based on the project submitted and its readiness for further development and workshopping. The four finalists will be given one (1) complimentary registration to attend Realscreen Summit 2025 in Miami, as well as mentorship and workshopping of their submitted project in the weeks leading up to the event. There, the finalists will have the opportunity to pitch their project live to top A+E Networks executives.

The winner, who will be awarded a US $25,000 development deal to develop their project into production at A+E Networks, will be announced at the Summit.
