Durham, (N.C.) (Hinton News) – Southern Documentary Fund (SDF) announces call for entries for the 2022 SDF Production Grant. The call for production grant proposals is open effective immediately and will close on July 18, 2022. Five filmmakers will be awarded $10,000 each, totaling $50,000. Applications and submission guidelines can be found on the SDF website.
SDF Program Manager Christopher Everett says, “Funding is so important for any documentary filmmaker, especially documentary filmmakers in the South. We’re thrilled to offer $10,000 each to five filmmakers that will help them with getting through production on their films.”
SDF is hosting two grant information sessions. Each session will give an overview of SDF’s Production Grant, eligibility requirements, and tips for writing a successful application. Attendees will also have an opportunity to ask questions about the grant process. Information sessions will take place on Monday, June 27, 1 p.m. EST and Tuesday, July 12, 4 p.m. EST via Zoom, and recorded sessions will be made available.
The 2022 SDF Production Grant is made possible thanks to the generous support of the John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation, which granted SDF $250,000 in general operating support this year to assist the organization’s programs and mission to deliver critical resources to Southern documentary makers.
