I need money, you need money, we all need money for our films. Below find all the cash that autumn has to offer. As usual, for scriptwriters, contests reign supreme; documentary is abound with funds for socially relevant stories; and narrative film funds lean heavily on pitches and labs (If you're a narrative filmmaker, don't forget to follow this up with our breakdown of where to shoot for the best tax incentives to boot!)
The following grants, labs, and pitch opportunities are organized by deadline from September through early December, and by category for documentaries, narratives and screenwriting. If you're looking for a head-start on a different granting season, we also have our most recent spring grants here, summer grants here, and winter grants here.
An asterisk next to the grant title means there is an equivalent grant for both doc and narrative. To find out more specifics on a grant, click on the title and get started.
