Film grants

Film up Stage 32 folk!!!! My question if anyone knows. I just connected with a grant writer and I would like to know what film grants are out there for film makers and screenwriters. Need a break from meeting with the typical investors for a while.

I literally just posted about looking for a grant writer. Check grants for writers or whatever you are looking for. I found over 10 sites listing the companies that have them. Did the writer teach you how to write your own grant? What was their pricing to package you out?

I have a grant writer...I just need links to sites that have a list of those available for entertainment. I didn't ask him if he would teach me and I'm not looking to learn how to write them. My hands are busy working and developing my projects. Like writing scripts, grant writing is a specialty and if you want good results, instead of trying to wear too many hats, it's good to find someone who is solid at that job. The pricing depends on the what and the how many grants I am planning on having him write. I'll keep you posted.

I’ll inbox you the list of grants I found specifically for media. I wish more people in entertainment felt that way of trying to wear many hats. I’d rather be great at just screenwriting. Than listing myself as a writer, director, producer, editor, animator...and just be mediocre at each. Thanks for the advice

i appreciate you and i agree. What i have learned from being in the industry is a lot of folks let their egos dictate their work flow. Writing and developing your material is very time consuming. it’s smarter to not wear yourself out trying to wear other hats. be strong at one first. when you have meetings and folks are looking at what you are doing and judging you want to be your best. opportunities don’t come around every day. you will do well.
