Produce Your On Movie
March 18th 2008 14:19
Another enterprising way to break into the film industry is to produce your own film. It is not a simple task like getting a job as a PA and working your way up. It is quite a burden to take on such a project. The blessing is that once your film is done, you have your calling card, and a product to display your commitment to a career in film.
Once you decide to produce, you have to get the wherewithal to produce your movie. A film grant is the best way, but not always the easiest way to get your funds. Yet, it is doable if you know the basic principles in applying for a grant.
Film grants can be awarded as money, room and board, equipment, film, screenwriting, music, producing, directing and/or a combination of all aspects to filmmaking.
Each endower has criteria for qualifying for their grant. Roy W. Dean Grant Foundation awards 4 grants at $40,000 each goods and services including film and video stock, equipment rental, post production services, expendables, and more. The criterion for the grant is to produce a documentary that inspires and benefits society. So far 8 projects have been completed under the Roy W. Dean Grant Foundation. One project Free A Man to Fight uncovers hidden stories of woman veterans in WWII, which went on to air on the History Channel. Another project, Salvaged Lives, a compelling drama on a rehabilitation program, trains prison inmates to become deep-sea divers.
