Colorado-Based Filmmakers & Theatermakers
Attention Artists:
Spring 2026 Grants Applications are now OPEN!
The professional film community in Colorado is growing! Many other states have state-specific funds just for local filmmakers and projects shooting in the state, but Colorado doesn't (are we wrong? Let us know!)
Our goal is to make funds more easily available to Colorado residents shooting films and creating theater in Colorado. Join our mailing list to stay up to speed.
FAQ
Who is eligible for a Flatiron Film Project grant?
Eligible filmmakers can demonstrate previous work, are U.S. residents and plan to shoot their projects in the United States with cast and crew made up of majority U.S. residents. There is a special category for projects being shot in Colorado. Proof of residency may be requested.
Can students apply for a grant?
Yes, students and student projects are eligible and should apply.
Is there a particular genre the Flatiron Film Project prefers?
We are partial to narrative film, but documentary projects may apply and may be funded as well. As for genre, we're all suckers for comedy over here! That said, our team looks at the whole of a project, including script, previous works, creative vision, and preparedness when considering where to award funding and will select projects that are thoughtful and make a contribution to humanity.
When will funds be awarded?
Grant recipients will be notified by February 28th, 2026.
