[NEohioPAL] $8000 Filmmaking Grant Application Info

[cleveland at networkisa.org]

Okay, the boys are at it again!

 

The Russo Brothers Italian American Film Forum provides the incredible
opportunity for inspired and creative artists to craft films that explore
the Italian American experience. In conjunction with the Italian Sons and
Daughters of America and the National Italian American Foundation, the
former of which the brothers are lifelong members, Joe and Anthony invite
you to explore the present, past, and future of this unique and important
cultural expression and identity.

A select number of applicants will be awarded a $8,000 grant that serves as
a production budget for the story they'd like to develop and create for the
screen. Documentary, narrative, fiction, and nonfiction are all acceptable
formats. There are few rules to the content of your film, only that it
illuminates some aspect of the Italian American experience.

These grants are open to people of all nationalities and backgrounds, as the
Italian American culture has touched so many of us in profound and resonant
ways. Grants will be awarded based solely on the promise of a film's
premise, how it relates to the Italian American experience, and the creative
potential of the filmmakers.

The timeline below highlights all of the key dates to be aware of throughout
the program's entirety. If you're selected for our grant, your acceptance
means an obligation to deliver a film within the bounds of what you outline
in the following application pages and by the due date listed below. Failure
to complete a film by the final due date or delivery of a film unrelated or
outside its immediate description written within the application will result
in a full revocation of funds and complete disqualification.

NIAF and ISDA will display the films on their respective websites and
reserve the right to screen the films at NIAF and ISDA events and/or not for
profit events.

We couldn't be more excited to offer a platform for voices worldwide to tell
original Italian American stories.
