Momentum is building for student/indie films featuring socially relevant themes. Just a few weeks ago, USC grad student Gregg Helvey picked up a Student Academy Award for his extraordinary thesis short, Kavi. The film, which deals with modern-day slavery in a village in India, has got some rave reviews and Helvey definitely appears to be a young talent to keep an eye out for.
If you've got your own script with a message, now is the time is start seeking out ways to get your film made - more and more companies are providing grants and production support for these types of films. Just this week, in fact, Cinereach and The Sundance Institute announced a three-year, $1.5 million grant to provide funding and resources for independent films that encourage cultural exchange and social impact. Cinereach is the same organization that is offering this fellowship previously featured in the Massify studio (deadline next week!).
So polish up those scripts, make a schedule of upcoming submission deadlines, and start sending out your ideas! You may secure the opportunity to shoot your meaningful and important film sooner than you think.
