Digital Cinema Grant - Donates The Use of A RED Digital Cinema camera

The Digital Cinema Grant Program is inspired by and modeled after Panavision’s Educational Grant program.

Though unlike Panavision’s program, there is no $1500 processing fee, in fact there are no fees beyond the application. We’re here to help filmmakers make films.
The real beauty of the program is that even though it’s competitive, you’re only competing against those who wish to shoot during the same time period as you. Thats right, this is not an annual grant, it is recurring. The grant will be continuously awarded throughout the year from project to project.
