GLAS ANIMATION GRANT PROGRAM

Deadline: July 15th 2019


At the third edition of GLAS Animation Festival we launched the GLAS Animation Grant. This program is designed to fund independent animation filmmakers living and able to work in the United States who are making films outside of academic institutions. As filmmakers ourselves, we had a keen understanding of the lack of opportunities for funds specifically geared towards independent animators working outside of a commercial context, making bold, artistic work. In fact, there were literally no national grants exclusively for animators in the United States. We wanted to change that, and support animation artists making groundbreaking and vital work.

For the 2019 GLAS Animation Grant cycle, two separate $2500 grants (made possible with the support of an Anonymous donor) are to be awarded to two individual filmmakers living and working in the United States to create independent short films.

Filmmaker must be living and legally able to work in the United States.

Filmmaker must have at least one completed film to show.
Filmmaker must be at least 18 years of age.

No entry fee

Prizes:
two grants worth 2500$
