Analog Cookbook & This Week in Experimental 16mm Short Film Fund
A grant designed to support the production of 16mm short films through a combination of cash and in-kind support.
About the Grant
We believe that despite the challenges that come with analog filmmaking, it should remain a living, breathing art form that is shared, taught, and passed on. We’re committed to nurturing a community where knowledge flows freely, voices are uplifted, and the tools to create on celluloid are made more accessible.
This grant is designed to support the production of 16mm short films through a combination of cash and in-kind support. Behind the scenes we’ve partnered with Kodak Film Lab Atlanta and Moonshine Post to be able to grant the following:
☆ 5x 400ft rolls of Kodak Vision3 7219 from Kodak Film Lab Atlanta
☆ Free film processing and scanning
☆ Color grading services from Moonshine Post
☆ A cash grant to get the ball rolling
