SPONSORS
The 2027 submission window will be announced later this year.
Stay tuned for updates on our website, Substack, and Instagram. We will announce the opening of applications at least one month in advance.
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 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!
