Transitioning from fledgling filmmaker to professional...
The Reach Film Fellowship is a specialized program for early-career filmmakers who are making socially conscious short films. Four filmmakers per year are selected to receive a $5,000 grant, production support, and six months of mentorship, career advising and industry exposure.
Every year, one fellow receives an achievement award of $5,000 for his or her next film, or for the distribution and exhibition of the film produced within the Fellowship program.
In previous years, the Reach Film Fellowship accepted applications from college students, and from filmmakers living across the east coast. In 2009, RFF began considering applications only from recent film school graduates who will live or stay in the New York Tri-State area during the course of the Fellowship cycle. Self-taught filmmakers may qualify and are invited to email us to discuss eligibility.
Applications for RFF are currently closed and will re-open in early 2010.
