Vimeo Doubles Grant to $300K for Filmmakers | Entertainment and Celebrity News
Description
Vimeo’s Short Film Grant Program is back bigger and bolder, doubling prize money to $300,000 split among five rising filmmakers—offering not just cash but mentorship and resources to fuel their careers. Curated by Vimeo’s Ina Pira, the initiative seeks to be an early champion for visionary talent, backed by a stellar judging panel including Kogonada, Josephine Decker, Sarah Winshall, and Jomo Fray. With over 3,100 submissions last year, the program’s popularity proves filmmakers are hungry for this kind of support—and with partners like Panavision and AJA, Vimeo’s commitment to nurturing the next generation of cinema is stronger than ever. Submissions open September 21; winners announced March 15.
