Catapult Film Fund Awards $30,000 in Research Grants to Three Doc Filmmakers (EXCLUSIVE)
The Catapult Film Fund has awarded $30,000 in research grants to three documentary filmmakers.
“This year, the selected projects are: Folyan’s “Flowing with Blessings,” about an organization that provides mobile laundry and shower services to Atlanta’s unhoused population; Limbal’s “Between Oceans,” about the lives of Black immigrant women who leave their families in the Caribbean each year to work seasonal jobs in the U.S. through the H-2B temporary worker program; and Nick’s “All My Friends,” a coming-of-age doc that explores how a diverse group of young people navigate the tragic loss of a beloved friend – also the director’s daughter – who died at 16. Now in its fifth year, Catapult’s research grant program expands upon the organization’s mission to provide essential early-stage support when funding is hardest to find and considered riskiest to give. “These are filmmakers who take creative risks and their work is an exploration of certain questions they’ve set up for themselves,” said Megan Gelstein, Catapult Film Fund co-director and chief program officer.
