This grant supports independent film and media projects that are distinctive, socially meaningful, and unlikely to be made easily through conventional financing alone. It is aimed at filmmakers whose work brings something original and valuable to the screen.
The programme is open to a wide range of formats, including:
- Documentaries
- Narrative feature films
- Short films
- Web series
- Multimedia projects
Applicants from any country may apply. Projects can be in any phase of production, which makes this relevant for filmmakers at different stages, from development through to later-stage production needs.
To be eligible, the total project budget must be under $500,000 USD.
The grant is intended for independent work that stands out creatively and makes a contribution to society. The strongest fit is usually a project with a clear point of view, a defined artistic identity, and a meaningful reason for being made.
The support includes a cash award as well as production-related services and discounts. The programme also offers a free consultation on the project.
