APPLICATION DEADLINE: MARCH 15, 2013
Applicants will be rated on artistic and production excellence,
commercial viability, and financial position.
This project is managed by Houston Arts Alliance in collaboration with
Women in Film & Television Houston and Houston Film Commission.
It is the outcome of the film task force created by Houston Mayor Annise Parker, and made possible through the City's Initiative Grant Program through Houston Arts Alliance, awarding a $20,000 matching grant. Two additional $5,000 grants - provided by the Greater Houston Convention and Visitors Bureau and Houston First Corporation - when combined with the City's Grant Program award, will provide the $30,000 matching grant for the production of a narrative feature-length commercial motion picture produced in Houston by a local filmmaker.
The award will be presented to a recipient whose work shows excellence in the genres of narrative (live action or animation) production. Submissions must be received by
March 15, 2013.
"Every time a film or video project is produced in Houston it means jobs for local technicians and talent and contracts for vendors and support services," said Mayor Parker, whose support of the film industry as an economic generator led to the grant. "Nurturing this industry is a great investment in my book. I can't wait to see the film that is made as a result of this grant."
