Each filmmaker receives $5,000 per film. This money must go entirely toward the completion of the work selected through the Silver Lake Shorts Fellowship.
The film should be roughly 1-5 minutes in length and all films must be completed within one year of receiving the grant.
We will connect each recipient with an industry mentor who will help guide them through the filmmaking process from pre-production to post-production.
We will screen the film, help it get exposure through our industry partners, and assist with the submission process to other festivals.
This fellowship is made possible thanks to the generous support of our Silver Lake Shorts Sponsors and donors like YOU!
The SLS team is thrilled to be able to empower these amazing artists with the support of our community.
We did this together!
The 2026 Silver Lake Shorts Fellows have been selected and updates can be found on the Silver Lake Shorts Instagram.
The 2027 submission window will open this summer.
