Deadline: 5 September 2024
Mountainfilm is inviting applications for its Commitment Grants to support documentary filmmakers in telling stories that support the mission of using the power of film, art, and ideas to inspire audiences to create a better world.
They seek non-fiction stories, both shorts and features, celebrating adventure, activism, social justice, culture, environment and indomitable spirit.
Funding Information
- The Commitment Grants are focused on supporting documentary filmmakers in the production or post-production stages. Mountainfilm promotes and encourages diversity behind the camera. They welcome applicants from any country.
- This program has received generous support from Torri and Mark Savoff, and Jess Stevens and Stephen Pollard in honor of the life of Isabella de la Houssaye.
- Awards will range from $1,000 to $5,000.
Eligibility Criteria
- You must also include a video sample or trailer of your current project (no longer than 10 minutes). They prefer password-protected Vimeo links for the jury as opposed to uploads.
- Incomplete or late applications will not be accepted. They consider projects in production and post-production only.
- They do not fund completed projects or impact campaigns.
- If you are the recipient of a Mountainfilm Commitment Grant, they expect the following:
- Regular updates on progress, 2–3 times annually.
- The Mountainfilm logo or name recognition in film or project credits that corresponds with the level of support.
- A discussion of premiere consideration with the Mountainfilm programming team.
- Depending on the level of support and length of film, they may require premiere status (Colorado or U.S.) and request the right to screen on Mountainfilm on Tour.
