Proposal Considerations:
The Fund evaluates your application based upon the following criteria: How compelling your Story is, the Issue areas being addressed and the Strength of your proposal.
We look for stories that engage an audience, propelling a narrative forward. The issue area should align with the Fund’s Ideals and Values. We also consider the filmmaker’s previous experience and the soundness of the proposal.

You will receive an automated email confirmation acknowledging receipt of your application. If your film does not qualify, you will be notified within three months of your submission.
Selection Process / Committee:
The applications for funding will be reviewed and vetted by the staff of the Rogovy Film Fund. If you are selected for a grant, you will be required to list the Fund and its logo within the film credits.
