We’re excited to announce that the 2026 Short Film Fund is officially open — and this is your chance to get your short film made, supported, and seen by industry professionals!
The Short Film Fund was created to support emerging writers and directors from all around the world who are ready to take their short film from script to screen. Whether you’re seeking production funding or finishing funds, here’s how you can make your project stand out and put yourself in the best position to win.
🎬 What’s at Stake
- 🏆 $15,000 Production Grant — to help you produce your short film.
- 🎥 $4,000 Finishing Funds — to help complete a film already in post-production.
- 📸 Free camera equipment from ARRI Rental for the production period (Grand Prize Winner), saving you thousands on gear rentals.
- 🤝 Mentorship from industry pros, including two-time Oscar-nominated producer Maria Gracia Turgeon.
- 🎯 Film festival strategy guidance from Tribeca short film programmer Kimberley Browning.
Past films supported through the Fund have gone on to screen at major festivals and helped writers secure representation, staff roles on top shows, and even feature deals.
