the axs film fund

This program is for creators of color in documentary filmmaking or nonfiction new media who identify as living with a disability. We seek to bring visibility to creators who are oftentimes overlooked. While we prefer that a person of color living with a disability is a key contributor to the project, we welcome diverse teams to apply.

Types of Projects:

The AXS Film Fund is a one-time grant for creators of color in documentary filmmaking or nonfiction new media, who identify as living with a disability. We will fund:

• Feature length documentary films, preferably led by a person of color who identifies as living with a disability
• Nonfiction new media projects, preferably led by a person of color who identifies as living with a disability.

Selection Criteria:

Projects will be evaluated based upon the following:

• The strength of the proposal and artistic approach.
• The feasibility of the proposed project.
• The ethics and accountability of the project.
• A completed application and all requested documents.
• A fulfillment of eligibility requirements.
