The 2024 AFS Grant for Short Films is now open. The AFS Grant for Feature Films application will reopen in the spring of 2025
The AFS Grant awards funds annually to film and video artists in the state of Texas. Grants are provided to artists whose work shows promise, skill, and creativity. AFS is committed to fostering diverse and underrepresented voices in independent film with the intention of focusing on communities of color through an intersectional lens.
Since its inception in 1996, the AFS Grant has awarded more than $2.6 million in cash grants and more than $340,000 in-kind goods and services to 500+ Texas filmmakers to date, creating life-changing opportunities for artists traditionally underrepresented in the film industry and working outside large industry centers. In addition to grants for development, production, and post-production, we provide cash stipends to Texas filmmakers traveling to prestigious film festivals through its AFS Travel Grant program.
The AFS Grant for Short Films deadline is Thursday, September 12, 2024 at 6 PM CT.
The Harrison McClure Endowed Film Fund extended deadline is Thursday, September 19, 2024 at 6 PM CT.
