Mountainfilm Emerging Filmmaker Fellowship
In an effort to give early-career filmmakers much-needed support, Mountainfilm launched the Emerging Filmmaker Fellowship in 2018, focusing on documentary filmmakers in production or post-production on their first or second documentary.
The fellowship provides one filmmaker with a year-long mentorship, including edit and story consultation, networking opportunities and a $2,000 cash award. In addition, the fellowship includes a trip to Telluride during the festival over Memorial Day weekend, covering travel, lodging and a Mountainfilm pass ($3,000 value).
Mountainfilm accepts applicants from any country, however, you must be currently residing in the United States. For complete rules and terms, head to the link below.
This program is supported by Elizabeth & Allen Cutler.
