FELLOWSHIPS

MEET OUR SILVER LAKE FELLOWS

The Silver Lake Shorts Fellowship is designed to support California based artists making BOLD original work.

We provide filmmakers with the financial resources to fund an animated or live action short film that they maintain complete AGENCY and OWNERSHIP over.
2027 FELLOWSHIP

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.

PROGRAM DETAILS

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.

MENTORSHIP

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.
