Firelight supports filmmakers from underrepresented communities in the United States who make artful and innovative documentary films that take risks, and provide new narratives about the most pressing issues of our time. Firelight will consider all types of documentary projects: historical, investigative, personal, vérité, and experimental.
Along with the written application, filmmakers must submit a work sample (for projects in Production) or a rough cut (for projects in Post-Production). A work sample or rough cut must be no less than 10 minutes and no longer than 30 minutes in duration.
The deadline for submissions is May 13, 2024 at 11:59 p.m. ET.
Please contact doclab@firelightmedia.org with any questions.
