Need some film funding? Last chance for Arizona filmmakers to apply for a Regional Grant of $5,000 courtesy of the Santa Fe Film Institute (SFII) which presents the annual Santa Fe International Film Festival in New Mexico.

Now in its fifth year, the Regional Grant supports filmmakers in New Mexico and the surrounding states of Arizona, Colorado, Oklahoma, and Texas.

Regional Grant recipients are not required to produce the film in New Mexico (so you can film your project here in Arizona) but you will need to show proof of Arizona residency during the application process.

Applications open through tomorrow, May 15, 2025.
Apply at - www.SantaFeFilmInstitute.org/granting-programs
One application per filmmaker.

For more information on the SFII and its funding activities, visit SanteFeInstitute.org.

Good luck, and let us know if you win!
