Travel grants to the American Film Market

14 August 2013 By Screen Australia

Screen Australia is offering travel grants for producers planning to attend the upcoming American Film Market (AFM), in Santa Monica, California.

More than 8,000 industry professionals will meet over eight days in a marketplace for the business of motion picture production and distribution. The AFM brings together participants from 70 different countries for deal-making, screenings, seminars and networking.

Applicants must have a reasonable body of completed, produced and released work, commensurate with their level of experience, as well as active projects in development. In the case of more experienced producers, a slate of projects is preferable with at least one having secured a large portion of its budget.

Preference will be given to applicants who have not been recipients of multiple travel grants in recent years.

Travel assistance guidelines outlining all eligibility criteria, as well as the International Markets application form, are available to download from the Screen Australia website.
