Jordan Peele’s production company Monkeypaw is teaming up with Universal and the Toronto International Film Festival to launch “No Drama,” a fellowship program that will select six filmmakers to create their own short films.

Created as part of the Universal Filmmaker Project, “No Drama” will invite writer-directors to send in their pitches for short films based around this prompt: “What’s your biggest fear?  What monsters lurk in the deepest corners of your inner thoughts?”

“A good monster story comes from a perspective that’s very personal and very vulnerable. It’s a story that is so deeply personal that you think no one else can relate to it,” said Peele in a statement.
