About the Award

Launched in 2022, the OUT at the Movies Emerging Artist Film Grant is our festival’s latest initiative to support emerging artists who are dedicated to highlighting the queer experience through film. 

This grant program is intended to supplement the budget for an emerging LGBTQ+ filmmaker in the creation of their film, through the awarding of a $5,000.00 grant, and connection to industry veterans as mentors.
