FILMMAKERS: This Wednesday, July 15th, is the deadline to apply for Cinereach's Reach Film Fellowship! The Reach Film Fellowship (RFF) is an annual six-month program that supports four young filmmakers making short fiction and documentary films of social relevance. The Fellowship provides a $5,000 grant, sponsorships, and industry mentorship throughout the production process. Industry judges will award an additional $5,000 to one of the films, which will also screen at Cinereach’s annual Reach Out event in the spring.
The fellowship is open to filmmakers who completed film studies programs in 2008 or 2009. This year, self-taught filmmakers may also apply, but are advised to discuss their eligibility with Cinereach staff by emailing info@cinereach.org before submitting an application. Filmmakers in the process of transitioning from novice filmmaker to professional are ideal candidates for the Fellowship. Application and guidelines can be found online at www.reachfilmfellowship.com.
