Turning Vision into Action

Applicants must demonstrate how the grant funding will allow you to advance in a critical area of development – be it casting, location scouting, hiring crew or shooting a scene. There are no limits, as long as the action taken moves the needle on your project.

This is about finding films with strong artistic merit and a bold original vision, ready to go into production within a year.

The Action Grant Finalists will become apart of our 2026 Cohort, receiving 1:1 mentorship, tailored introductions and and travel support to attend an Investor Showcase at the 2026 Cannes Film Festival.

Note:  In the case of non-fiction and immersive categories, we accept projects that have begun production and are seeking finishing funds.
