Many Emerson School of the Arts and VMA faculty have expressed interest in finding funding for narrative and documentary film, and media projects. ORCS has prepared a list of film and media funders to get you started.

Some of these funders make awards to individual artists; some may require a fiscal sponsor. Emerson can serve as a fiscal sponsor many of those cases. Please contact us at orcs@emerson.edu for more details.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
