Event Details
The Next Level Grant Program provides funding for local directors and producers that are currently working on a project in the state of Utah. The Utah Film Commission seeks to cultivate original storytelling by providing the extra push for filmmakers to get their film to the “next level”. This program is built for projects between $500 – $20,000. Larger budget projects can apply for our Community Film Incentive Program ($20,000 – $500,000) or our Motion Picture Incentive Program ($500,000+).
The Next Level Grant Program funds projects of all stages from development to production and distribution. The pre-production phase is for projects that are focusing on development and pre-production. The principal photography phase is for projects that will utilize the grant funding during principal photography. The post-production phase is for post-production and distribution, including film festival submission fees and travel.
Utah Film Commission is looking for filmmakers whose projects reflect excellence in storytelling and visual style, and who can articulate how the grant funding will impact the artistic goals of the project.
