Cinereach Film Grant

Production & Financing, Feature, Non Fiction

Cinereach Film Grant

Cinereach is an independent film company dedicated to vital, artful filmmaking. As a philanthropic organization, Cinereach helps expand its films' creative potential by offering adaptive development, financing, production, and other support models that align with the unique vision of each supported filmmaker.

Production & Financing: Cinereach develops, produces, and finances several projects each year. The company also co-finances and co-produces with other production companies, co-financiers and investors using traditional film financing structures such as equity or debt financing.

Grants: Each year Cinereach awards 20-30 grants - comprising over $1 million - to new and existing grantees. Grant amounts ranging from $5,000 to $50,000 can be awarded to support any stage of a film's progression, from development to completion. Throughout its engagement with grantees, Cinereach may also offer additional resources to increase the films' momentum.

Cinereach develops, produces, finances, and supports feature-length fiction, nonfiction and hybrid films crafted for the big screen. The organization looks for projects (at any stage) that create deep and lasting impressions through story, character, or cinematic approach; and seeks to work with both unknown and established filmmakers who may face creative, financial or systemic obstacles to realizing ambitious visions.

Cinereach accepts project submissions on a rolling basis through an online portal. Projects eligible for consideration must be feature-length (over 60 minutes), and intended for theatrical exhibition. We do not currently consider short films (under 60 minutes), serialized or episodic work, web series, virtual or augmented reality, or other immersive/interactive work.

NEW! Documentary Business Plan & Documentary Pitch Deck

FilmPropoals is thrilled to offer help to documentary producers looking for investors, by enhancing our Film Fundraising toolkits to address the specific needs of documentarians. The highlight is a unique Documentary Business Plan Template included in all of our Film Financing Toolkits and Bundles. Much of the Documentary Business Plan is just like that of our narrative Film Business Plan Template, however, we've also done some major custom work to specifically highlight why documentaries are a great investment and how to best showcase your documentary to investors:

Documentary Business Plan Template
  • Documentary Business Plan Template - this new template is completely redone to focus only on documentary films. Recent successes, emerging documentary trends, streaming and studio deals, distribution patterns, audience statistics, revenue generated for sample films and much more. When did Docs become profitable and start selling for $5M or $10M at festivals? We lay it all out for you...
  • Documentary Pitch Deck - while our pitch deck template can be used for any type of film, you will use your business plan research to ensure the deck showcases your documentary as a worthy investment opportunity
  • Financial Projections/ Comparable Films - our custom database and custom financial projections flow seamlessly for both documentaries and narrative films

The new Documentary Business Plan Template is included in ALL of our Film Financing Toolkits and Bundles, so you can purchase any of them and be well on your way to funding any part of your documentary with private investments.

Coming Through the Rye

Just want to thank you for your materials and help over the past year. I could not have raised the $1.5 million or made this film without the materials you provided. The bargain of my career!

Inside Sportfishing

Finished my deck on Friday. Got it into a few potential investor’s hands over the weekend, and by Monday had 3 out of the 10 available memberships spoken for at $160K each. The revenue projections and film comparable services by NASH, along with the business plan and pitch deck templates were instrumental in presenting the project in such a way that financially minded potential investors could understand the movie business, the market and how my project could possibly give them a substantial ROI.

Melissa was amazing throughout the entire process. Always there to answer any questions. Couldn’t have done it without you guys. Can’t thank you enough. Best money I’ve ever spent.
