Georgia grants for filmmakers:

Georgia Council for the Arts: GCA offers grants that support projects involving filmmakers; however, there must be a public component. For instance, GCA could support a project that brings students to a film set to teach them about how a movie is made, or a project that includes workshops by the director explaining how the final film was put together.

 

GCA grants also require that the applicant be a non-profit organization, school, library, college or government entity. Grants cannot be made to individuals or for-profit companies.

For additional information on GCA grants, go to www.gaarts.org/what-we-do/grants.
