For me, Open Cinema is about people coming together and working on what they are passionate about. The stories that are told and ideas that are created are whatever people think is worthwhile enough to devote their time and attention to. They can try out new ideas and innovate, learn, get better, and make money doing it! I can't wait to see what people come up with!

Filmmakers and Video Artists … Apply for an In-Kind Matching Grant !!
Plus: BAY AREA FUNDING RESOURCES

Matching Grants:
* Are you a filmmaker or video artist trying to secure funding for your next video project?
* Do you already have funding for your production and want to double its value?

Transvideo Studios can help you achieve your goals through our In-Kind Matching Grants Program. This program provides thousands of dollars in production and post-production services to approved projects, and can also help you in your fundraising efforts. Here’s how it works . .

If you are in the process of seeking funding, you may apply for a matching grant in advance. Once approved, Transvideo Studios will provide you with an award letter, outlining our interest in your project. This allows you to use our in-kind offer as a selling point in your application to donors. They may be more inclined to fund your project knowing that you have additional support and that their awards will automatically double in value.

And if you already have some production or post-production funding, you may apply to our program and have those funds “matched” in equipment and services. For example, Transvideo Studios may provide up to $40,000 in equipment and services for $20,000 in funding.

Here’s how to apply . . .

* Provide a 3-page (maximum) synopsis of your project, including your contact information, project title, estimated total budget, anticipated completion date, and brief description of the video.
* Include your resume and any links to your work or demo reel.
* Email all materials to grants@transvideo.com. Attachments must not exceed 1mb in size.

Applications are processed on a rolling basis and are reviewed by our experienced staff of producers. We will notify you upon receipt of your materials (which will not be returned). We will also notify you of the status of your application within 8-10 weeks. If you have any questions, please contact us at grants@transvideo.com, or visit http://www.transvideo.com/about/matching-grants. We look forward to hearing about your project. Good luck! *

Commonly Asked Questions for the Grants

Q. I live in Detroit, Michigan - can I enter the New York Grant?
A. Yes, you can enter the grant and live anywhere. We have had people in LA win the NYC grant and people in other states win the LA grant. Just know you have to shoot or do post in that city to be able to benefit from all the goods and services you win. Your production does not have to be entirely in that city - only enough to make use of whatever goods and services you will be utilizing.

Q. I live in Canada, can I enter the Grant?
A. Yes, you can live anywhere in the world and enter any of our grants. You should be filming in the city you receive the award in to use the goods and services. If you live in Toronto and have a film that takes you to LA or NYC this would work well for you.

Q. Can I enter the LA Film Grant if I am shooting in digital?
A. Yes, you will not use the Camera from Otto Nemenz but you could use the money from Edgewise to buy tape or anything you want for your shoot. Actually, the number of entries in the film grant is lower than video and you may have a better chance in this category.

Q. Is the deadline a postmark or must you have it by the deadline?
A. All of our deadlines are a postmark. Don't spend your money on FEDEX, just mail it.

Q. How long does it take you to decide on the finalists?
A. We usually have finalists up on the web site in 6 weeks.

Q. How long does it take you to select the winner?
A. Our goal is to have the winner chosen in less than 90 days.

Q. When can the winner and the finalists begin to use the awards?
A. Once you win, we email all the donors. This opens the door for you. Next, we send donors a letter and email you the contact person and you can contact them directly.
