Film Independent, through our Emergency Filmmaker Relief Fund, will provide grants to Film Independent Fellows whose livelihoods have been disproportionately impacted by the Los Angeles wildfires. Grants will range from $500 to $5,000 to offer immediate relief – with priority going to those who have lost or sustained significant damage to their homes and are displaced during this devastating time.

Applications & Funding

Applications for the Emergency Filmmaker Relief Fund will open soon.

While applications are closed at this time, we are continuing to fundraise (see below) so we can reopen EFRF applications in the near future.

If you have questions, please contact artistdevelopment@filmindependent.org.
