Cucalorus accepting applications for ‘Filmed in NC’ grant

WILMINGTON, NC (WWAY) – Calling all filmmakers!  Cucalorus is accepting applications for its 2nd annual  “Filmed in NC” Cucalorus Indie Filmmakers Fund.

Independently produced film and video projects by artists who live in NC or who are full-time students at NC colleges and universities will be considered.

The program will fund projects by emerging and established artists with a proven record for producing singular and original work.

Cucalorus says projects should exhibit potential for generating community impact and substantial economic activity in North Carolina. Funding is prioritized for female filmmakers and African American and Latino artists.

“Cucalorus is excited to continue exploring the funding side of the creative process,” said Cucalorus Executive Director Dan Brawley. “Funding emerging filmmakers and low-budget projects is essential to developing a healthy creative eco-system and builds on our continued commitment to supporting the development of bold new works by artists working here in North Carolina.”

Proposals will be accepted until October 4.

Funding ranges from $500 to $3,000 per project. The NC Film Office is also supporting this project.
