Jackson Wild My World Film Grant
About this opportunity
The My World Film Grant, created by Amberjack Films, Schoolyard Films, and Jackson Wild, sponsors one emerging filmmaker to create a 10-to-20-minute short film on a nature or environmental story from anywhere in the world. With a $30,000 grant, it is one of the most generous short film funds available, specifically designed to launch the careers of new documentary filmmakers working in nature and conservation. Recipients receive editorial guidance and mentorship throughout production.
Application tips
Your proposal should demonstrate a personal connection to the environmental story you wish to tell. The grant values on-the-ground access to compelling subjects and stories that have not been told before. Jackson Wild Collective membership is required to apply.
