We are charged up and blushing a little, thrilled to announce the Chicago Short Film Brigade has been awarded a grant from the Young Leaders Fund, a division of the Chicago Community Trust.
Film Brigade is dedicated to keeping its submission process as equal-opportunity and low-hassle as possible. As policy, we don’t charge an entry fee. Entry fees, commonly charged by festivals and competitions, often create a discouraging barrier for filmmakers, particularly first-timers.
The Young Leaders Fund grant will allow us to ensure our no-entry fee policy remains viable -while simutaneously ensuring we have the opportunities larger festivals are able to afford.
We are also dedicated to the continued diversification of our audience. This grant from the Young Leaders Fund will aid us as we add an additional show location on the south side at Experimental Station, premiering in June.
MANY THANKS TO
THE YOUNG LEADERS FUND and CHICAGO COMMUNITY TRUST
