Production Grant

CITF Production Grant

 

CITF's most recent project is to provide support to Chicago-based productions for the completion of works about Chicago-land youth. CITF requests proposals from Chicago area filmmakers working on projects that could produce social change. CITF seeks to fund content that reflects the diversity of the human experience, advances under-represented points of view, compels public dialogue, and produces social change.

Productions already underway with a completion scheduled within the next year are most encouraged.

Please feel free to contact CITF at 720-864-9055 or hliew@itfitv.org
