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.
