Calendar – Past Event

Cinereach is currently seeking applicants for its annual Reach Film Fellowship. Cinereach is a not-for-profit founded by a group of young filmmakers, philanthropists and entrepreneurs to champion artful, vital filmmaking.

The prestigious seven-month program supports young filmmakers with grants, resources, and industry mentors who help guide their short films through all stages of production.

The application deadline is July 12, 2010. Applications and guidelines can be found at http://www.reachfilmfellowship.com/.

Four winning applicants will be awarded $5,000 and will be mentored by an established filmmaker. Fellows also receive production support from sponsors, workshops, career coaching, and industry exposure. Industry judges will award an additional $5,000 to the most outstanding film of the four, which will also screen at Cinereach's annual Reach Out event in the spring.

The Fellowship is open to emerging, early-career filmmakers who have completed at least one short film and completed a film studies program by summer 2010. Self-taught filmmakers may also apply, but are advised to discuss their eligibility with Cinereach staff before submitting an application. Applicants must also be able to reside in the New York Tri-State area from August 2010 through April 2011 to meet the Fellowship requirements.
