Firelight Media's William Greaves Fund supports mid-career nonfiction filmmakers from racially and ethnically underrepresented communities in the United States and filmmakers in Mexico, Brazil, Puerto Rico, and Colombia, with particular interest in those who identify as Indigenous and/or of African descent.

The Fund is dedicated to resourcing and supporting talented storytellers with grants ranging up to $40K each to support research and development on a feature-length nonfiction film. The Fund also provides grantees with limited coaching hours, as needed and based on the particular requirements of each project. The international nature of the call reflects Firelight's commitment to nurturing transnational solidarity among filmmakers and artists.

To address the devastating toll that the pandemic has had on the independent film community, and how unstable work in the industry can be for filmmakers of color in general, the William Greaves Fund includes a basic care stipend that can be put toward any essential need grantees have, from healthcare and childcare costs to any other necessary resources. Firelight Media recognizes that reliable support like this is fundamental to producing creative work. The basic care stipend reflects Firelight Media's commitment to ensuring underrepresented communities are actively cultivated, participating in, and influencing the nonfiction space and a broader discourse. Our criteria for selection (see below) reflects our commitment to creative rigor, imagination, ethics and accountability to impacted communities in filmmaking practice.

The application to the William Greaves Fund is currently closed. Stay tuned for announcements concerning the 2022 Fund.

William Greaves Fund criteria from 2021 are listed below for reference.

We will consider projects that address a range of themes and issues.

We will consider projects with a range of aesthetic approaches (verité, essay, experimental, investigative, personal, historical, etc.).

We will consider projects that are ambitious or narrowly focused.

We will consider submissions from filmmakers based in the U.S., Mexico, Puerto Rico, Colombia, and Brazil.

We value and will consider submissions from filmmakers of all refugee and immigration statuses, recognizing that migration flows are necessitated by the global challenges and forces we seek to overcome.

We take notice when projects are socially relevant, formally innovative, address or engage underrepresented issues or communities, and are accountable to the impacted communities their films represent.

Our programs support women and gender nonconforming documentary filmmakers at various stages in their careers.

We support filmmakers from diverse backgrounds who are both committed to social change and to the art and craft of filmmaking. When we choose a project, it is because we believe the film needs to be made-and that the particular filmmaker is the one to make it. Our grantees have unique access to their subjects, a collaborative spirit, and the courage to take creative risks. When choosing a project, we look for:

Storytelling: Original story, tone, style, and structure

Diversity: In all its forms

Innovation: Filmmakers with unique voices and projects that take risks

Vision: A new perspective on an issue, special access into the story, and the ability to make the universal accessible and personal

Craft: Inextricable links between story and production value

Resonance: Timely, urgent, or compelling issues at stake

Completing and launching a documentary takes grit, nerve, and creativity; it also takes money, connections, and time. We offer women and gender nonconforming directors the tools to realize the full potential of their projects, both as works of art and as catalysts for change. Each of our programs represents a pivotal intervention in a woman's filmmaking career; through them, we empower storytellers to direct their own careers in the field.

Please sign up for our newsletter to receive updates on programs.

We are not currently accepting applications for the (Egg)celerator Lab. The application deadline for the 2022 Open Call was Tuesday, June 22, 2021. All applicants will be notified of their application status by December 2021. Please sign up for our newsletter to receive updates.

The 2023 (Egg)celerator Lab Open Call will run from May-June 2022. If you are interested in learning more about what the application entails, watch the 2022 (Egg)celerator Lab Informational Webinar and Q&A .

The (Egg)celerator Lab is focused on identifying and supporting nonfiction directors working on their first or second feature-length documentary. This program brings together ten projects, with a special focus on stories by self-identifying women and gender nonconforming directors.

In this year-long program, these ten projects will receive:

$40,000 in grant funding for the production of their feature-length film

Monthly mentorship with Chicken & Egg Pictures' senior creative team members

Three creative retreats focused on career building and creative development

Industry meetings and funder connections

Peer support from the (Egg)celerator Lab cohort

The Chicken & Egg Pictures (Egg)celerator Lab for first- and second-time directors is generously supported by the National Endowment for the Arts, and through general operating support from our wonderful community of donors and grantmakers.

Funding & Mentorship: Chicken & Egg Pictures has an established model of providing strategic funding and mentorship in ways that maximize that support. The (Egg)celerator Lab ratchets up this successful model, helping filmmakers meet their goals faster and with more intensive support.

Retreats: During the 2022 program, grantees will be required to attend three intensive retreats focused on mentorship. This mentorship is aimed at helping grantees to make strides as artists, storytellers, and movement builders; giving deep, direct insight on grantees' individual projects to release the most successful film possible; and assisting grantees in their professional development as they pursue a career in the documentary film industry.

Industry Meetings and Funder Connections: Grantees will have the opportunity to build industry and funder connections.

Peer Support: Participants benefit from the knowledge and experiences of their peers as part of a vibrant community of shared ideas and mutual support.

The Chicken & Egg Award responds to the reality that only a few women nonfiction directors in the US and abroad are able to work full-time as independent storytellers. Despite progress by talented women filmmakers across the globe, there are still numerous roadblocks that stand in the way of those filmmakers truly breaking through in the documentary industry. These roadblocks are often tied to gender, race, class, disability, and geography, among other factors.

This program recognizes and elevates six women and gender nonconforming directors at advanced stages of their careers with unique voices who are poised to reach new heights and become strong filmmaker-advocates for urgent issues. The award consists of a $50,000 unrestricted grant and a year-long mentorship tailored to each filmmaker's individual goals. We support these artists in breaking through to the next level of their careers and as they become influential leaders for the issues they are exploring on-screen.

Through this Award, Chicken & Egg Pictures is making a bold investment in women artists, and an equally bold statement about representation and gender equity. We view this as inextricably connected to elevating the critical social justice, environmental, and human rights issues of the day, ensuring that a greater diversity of voices are participating in the storytelling that drives change.

Recipients of the Chicken & Egg Award are chosen through a confidential nomination process. Unsolicited applications are not accepted. Scroll down to view current and past cohorts of the Chicken & Egg Award.

The Chicken & Egg Award is generously supported through general operating support from our wonderful community of donors and grantmakers.

In addition to financial support, the Chicken & Egg Award grantees will participate in a year-long mentorship program that will focus on strengthening their professional infrastructure, increasing their public and industry visibility, and fulfilling their specific personal and creative goals.

This intimate, in-depth mentorship program will address each grantee's needs and aspirations using a tailored, multi-layered approach. Grantees will:

Work with Chicken & Egg Pictures to define their goals for their year;

Brainstorm the best strategy to move them forward in their Award year;

Develop specific goals and tactics to accomplish those aspirations, which they will execute during the program year with our support;

Have access to a strategic planning coach and an industry support network to build out those tactics and achieve those goals;

Participate in group retreats where they will have the opportunity to make connections with veteran filmmakers, industry decision-makers, and fellow Chicken & Egg Awardees; and

Contribute to an ecosystem of filmmakers supporting one another by mentoring one filmmaker from the roster of active Chicken & Egg Pictures grantees.

We are not currently accepting applications for Project: Hatched. The application deadline for the 2022 Open Call was Monday, January 17. Please sign up for our newsletter to receive updates.

Project: Hatched provides support to US-based filmmakers who are nearing completion or have recently completed a short-, medium-, and/or feature-length documentary film and who have plans to strategize, build, and launch an impact campaign. The program focuses on the lifecycle of documentary films in distribution with masterclasses on festivals, awards season, markets and impact campaigns.

2022 Open Call

Participate in mentorship consultations with Chicken & Egg Pictures' Senior Creative Consultants focused on impact campaign strategy and professional development

Receive monthly peer support from their cohort

Join our AlumNest community of supported filmmakers for further peer support and deeper connections

Festival Strategy: Focused on the launch of the film or the continuation of a festival strategy in the event the film has already premiered

Awards Season: Focused on developing a plan to garner recognition for their film and their film careers

Markets: Focused on understanding the markets where they can sell their films and the potential for income generation

Impact: Focused on ambitious and narrow impact campaigns

Overview

Docs by the Dozen recognizes the power of documentary shorts and series in their ability to reach millions and address important social issues, all while playing an important role in raising a filmmaker's artistic and professional profile.

The program is designed to engage with our AlumNest, build meaningful partnerships with like minded organizations and companies, and generate artistic and innovative short films and series that can increase a filmmaker's financial stability. The program provides talented filmmakers with the opportunity to expand their portfolios, reach broader audiences, and respond to critical social justice issues in a timely way.

Through this program, Chicken & Egg Pictures commissions short films and oversees their production, in close collaboration with the supported filmmakers and production partners. Filmmakers are selected through a request for proposal (RFP) process open to our AlumNest filmmakers. Our internal team reviews proposals and recommends shortlisted applicants to our production partner who selects the final projects to commission.

Unsolicited applications are not accepted at this time.

Partnership with LUNA®

In 2020, Chicken & Egg Pictures partnered with ® to commission three short films on the theme "Someday Is Now" in response to raised national consciousness around women's rights. The films explore a variety of perspectives on women's civil rights issues and female self empowerment. In 1999, LUNA ® was introduced as the very first nutrition bar for women with the mission to create momentum, champion women, and spark change. In 2001, ® was founded as the world's first all-women traveling film festival celebrating the work of filmmakers through nationwide screenings , i n addition to making an impact at the local level by fundraising for women's causes.

The short films produced through this partnership are screening as part of a slate of seven films in the LUNAFEST® 2021 Season .

Partnership with Mother Jones

Chicken & Egg Pictures partnered with Mother Jones to commission a three-part short series focused on gun culture in response to the onslaught of mass shootings in the US. Mother Jones is America's longest-established investigative news organization with a reputation for high quality independent reporting. With a monthly digital audience of 6 to 10 million, the broad reach of Mother Jones extends into communities of politically engaged individuals across generations.

The short films were published on Mother Jones between August-October 2020. The production of the series was also generously supported by The Gruber Family Foundation and Ken Pelletier.

Chicken & Egg Pictures has supported 300+ talented, diverse women nonfiction directors from all around the world, and that number continues to grow each year. The AlumNest program is Chicken & Egg Pictures' way of holding a space for current and former Nest grantees, from first-time filmmakers to industry veterans, to communicate and connect, so we can foster a strong, vibrant community.

Through the years, filmmakers who have participated in our programs have often articulated that the community of filmmakers they have built during their program year has been one of the most important and meaningful aspects of their time with us. The AlumNest extends this sense of community far beyond a single program year, providing both online and in-person spaces for filmmakers to connect with and learn from one another; develop relationships with other industry professionals; and take advantage of our funding, mentorship, and consultation opportunities intentionally designed for them.

AlumNest members have:

Access to a robust online community for sharing advice, opportunities, articles related to nonfiction art and industry, and for and discussing timely topics;

The chance to attend meaningful in-person community-building events and filmmaker gatherings;

The opportunity to apply to our most recent programs Project: Hatched and Docs By the Dozen; and

Additional access to new offerings for alumni.

This is a selective fund, and is granted as a subsidy either before or after completion of a project. It is granted to foreign feature-length film projects that are seeking support from French co-producers.
In 2021, it has a total budget of 6,4 million euros. Each year, 4 sessions are organized, thereby supporting about 50 projects.

Eligibility

The film must be a co-production between a production company established in France and one that is not, it must be directed by a non-French (or exceptionally French) director.
The language in which it is filmed may be the official or commonly-used language(s) of the foreign country of which the director is a national; or of the territory where the film is shot.

Pre-filming subsidies must be applied for before the start of any filming.
Post-filming subsidies must be applied for by the French production company and are only applicable to projects rejected at the pre-filming stage.

Project selection

A committee of professionals chooses the projects based on their artistic quality, their ability to present different points of view and new ideas to the general public, as well as the relative weakness of the foreign professional network on which the projects would depend.

Pre-filming:
The committee comprises two sub-committees (colleges), presided over by two Vice-Presidents, one open to first or second films of a director, and the other to projects by experienced directors.

The projects are examined at three stages: first by the reading committee, then by the plenary committee, which decides whether the projects should be supported or not and finally by the assessment committee, which sets the aid amount.

Post-filming:
The projects are examined by the committee composed of the president, the vice-president and the members of the 3rd board.
At the end of the plenary session, the costing committee, composed of the president, the vice-president and the members of the 3rd board as well as representatives of the CNC and the Institut français, examines the selected applications.
The amount of support granted is set by joint decision of the presidents of the CNC and the Institut français further to the opinion of the costing committee.

Amount of support

There is a ceiling of € 250,000 for pre-filming subsidy and of € 50,000 for post-filming subsidy. The amount awarded may not exceed 50% of the French financing part. However, this limit is raised to 80% if the project is a director's first or second feature-length film, for films with a budget lower than € 1,250,000, or for those co-produced with low-income countries.

For French initiated works with a budget over €2,500,000, this amount is increased to €450,000.
A work of "French initiative" means works produced as part of an international co-production in which French participation in the funding is the largest and for which the exploitation rights on the original work or the scenario have been acquired by one or more delegated production companies established in France.

Spending obligations

At least 50% of the subsidy granted must be spent by the production company established in France. An additional 25% of the aid granted must be spent by the foreign production company, for projects co-produced with countries that have weak film industries (see www.cnc.fr).

Finally, films with a total budget over € 2,500,000 must meet the CNC's approval conditions applicable to official co-productions or to French works.

Subsidy management

The documents required for the application have to be all in French (script, director's note, synopsis, etc.) and must be filed online : https://form.cnc.fr.
