New Filmmaker Grant Program
The Idaho Film Office has created a new grant program to enable projects that will provide valuable on-the-job crew experience to help grow the industry in Idaho.
Eligible projects include documentary, narrative or animated shorts or features, internet or device game design and smart phone application design. Completion of an existing project is also eligible.
Funding for the program is $20,000 for the first year; individual projects will be funded at no more than $5000 each with matching funds required. Open to both individuals and nonprofit organizations with a film industry focus.
The application process is expected to be very competitive and will include a panel review by professionals, followed by approval of the Idaho Travel Council (funding organization).
Applications are due August 1, 2010 and projects must be completed prior to December 31, 2011. Fill in the grant application and checklist, provide all supporting documents required (budget, script, work samples, etc.) and send in by the due date. No electronic copies will be accepted - we need hard copies for the panel review.

Arts and Sciences - Film Festival Grants www.oscars.org
The Academy of Motion Pictures Arts and Sciences is accepting
applications for its Film Festival Grants program for nonprofit film
festivals in the United States that will take place during the 2011
calendar year. While the grants are awarded for a variety
of programs, film festivals are encouraged to submit proposals that
make festival events more accessible to the general public, provide
greater access to minority and less visible filmmakers, and help
strengthen the connection between the filmmaker and the
public. Eligible film festivals may apply for grants at four funding
levels ranging from $2,500 to $30,000, depending on the cash budget of
the festival. Grant requests must target one or more concrete elements
within the festival. No grants will be awarded
for general support.
