For example, a group may be offering grants for films that have environmental issues at the heart of the film. A documentary on ozone depletion may be an appropriate entry, as well as, a drama about a family that lives near Three Mile Island. The library or the Internet are good places to query about who grant providers are. Applying for grants usually involves a great deal of paperwork and patience. Grants are sometimes geared toward specific phases of filmmaking.
Some grants provide completion money, others, startup funds.
How a grant can be used is usually listed with any information about the grant provider. After this is done, and the prospectus completed, doors should open more easily. Then, the most difficult aspect of filmmaking can begin. All Rights Reserved. Reproduction without permission is strictly prohibited.
