The Short Film Fund provides an opportunity for emerging writers and filmmakers to receive much-needed financial support to get their work produced and seen.

- Free camera equipment rental from ARRI Rental for the duration of production for the Grand Prize Winner (some restrictions apply).
- Both Winners (production grant & finishing funds) will connect with two-time Oscar-nominated producer MARIA GRACIA TURGEON for project and career guidance, and receive a film festival strategy package from Tribeca programmer KIMBERLEY BROWNING.
- Top 5 Finalists (unproduced scripts) will receive feedback on their script from one of our esteemed Judges.
- Top 15 Finalists (unproduced scripts) will have the opportunity to have their scripts circulated to select members of our Industry Roster and Directors.
- Finalists (finishing funds) will receive feedback on the rough cut of their film from a producer from award-winning production company Vanishing Angle.
