Northwest Film Fund Awards
We are now accepting applications for the 2013 Northwest Film Fund, our grant program supporting new documentary film projects in the Northwest.
In 2012 we awarded $20,000 in cash grants through this program, plus a package of artist services valued at $40,000 in-kind. 2012 winners include the film Sweetheart Deal by Seattle directors Elisa Haradon and Gabriel Miller, and the film project Open Road, by Portland director Alain LeTourneau.

We have regular workshops scheduled to learn essential programs like Final Cut Pro 7 & X, Apple Compressor, Apple Color and After Effects.
