Grants: The grants can go to individual Native filmmakers, who can use funds toward any aspect of production. This can include, film, TV, video games, or audio visual projects. All grants will initially be awarded in $5,000 increments.
Films created through the program will be screened or highlighted through the New Mexico Filmmakers Conference or Showcase.
To Apply: Applicants should include a project description and budget explaining how the money would be used as well as any supporting material, such as a film outline, a list of support/grants received to date, and letters of support.
