  • $500 towards travel, room and board expenses related to the G.I.F.T.S. scholarship program
  • $1,000 toward the cost of making the film

  • HOW TO APPLY

    To apply, please prepare a package that includes: a short written proposal outlining the film project's topics and goals; an outlined budget of the project, including how the award funds will assist in the production of your film; a projected time-line for completion of the project; a resume; and a demo reel of previous work, either on DVD or via a link to YouTube. Proposals will be evaluated based on creativity, relevance of the proposed topic, and whether the proposal has feasible budget and schedule. The deadline for submissions is September 24.
