Cinephile Film Arts Organization awards grants to Indiana filmmakers
Bloomington, IN, September 2007 – Cinephile Film Arts (CFA) is sponsoring their third annual CFA Grant Program to help fund independent film and video projects in Indiana. This is the only privately funded annual film grant program in the state, and since 2004, Cinephile has given $3000 to area filmmakers, with plans to increase the amount and number of grants each year.
Grants will be awarded based on presentation and uniqueness of the projects, and recipients will receive a slot in the third annual Indiana Festival of Independent Film to be held at the historic Buskirk-Chumley Theater in Bloomington, Indiana on February 16, 2008. Notes indie filmmaker Arthur Cullipher, “having someone give you money to make a movie is really awesome. Even a little extra can make a big difference.”
The deadline for applying for a grant is Friday, November 9, 2007. The grant application is available online at www.CinephileFilmArts.org.
CFA is a Bloomington, IN based non-profit media arts organization that began more than three years ago as a means for individuals interested in independent filmmaking to connect. Participants have included actors, writers, directors, composers, make-up artists, and film buffs. CFA provides an environment for creative community, education, and material and monetary support for Indiana filmmakers.
Anyone interested in applying for a grant, or anyone who is interested in learning more about CFA can contact David E. W. Pruett, Executive Director at 812.325.0183 or cinephile.info@gmail.com or visit www.cinephilefilmarts.org.
