Reach Film Fellowship - Call for Entries!

The Reach Film Fellowship assists young filmmakers as they make the leap from student to professional. We support four filmmakers as they take a short film from script/treatment to screen by: pairing them with mentors (who are seasoned veterans of the independent film industry), giving them a $5000 grant, and offering them sponsorship from the likes of Kodak, Postworks, and others.

We were fortunate enough to have Jeremy Kipp Walker ("Half Nelson", "Sugar"), So Yong Kim ("Treeless Mountain"), Nicole Kassell ("The Woodsman"), and Emmy Award-winning Renee Bishop participate as mentors. Ellen Kuras ("Blow", "Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind"), Edet Belzberg ("Children Underground", "The Recruiter"), and other notable filmmakers, participated as advisors offering intensive workshops on subjects ranging from pre-production to outreach and audience building. Our behind-the-scenes video offers a good overview of the program: http://www.vimeo.com/4047386.

Filmmakers who are within 2 years of undergrad studies during the fellowship cycle (August 2009 - March 2010) and living within the NYC area are eligible to apply.

This year we hope to secure mentors and advisors of comparable experience, and plan more workshops throughout the year. For more information log on to http://www.cinereach.org/the-reach-film-fellowship/ .
