Roy W. Dean Grants for Writers and Filmmakers
Their budget ceiling is $500,000, they only fund docs and features under this amount. They want films that are unique and make a contribution to society. They fund compelling stories about little known subjects, historical films and films that touch hearts. They like films that expose and bring important information to light, we like films on little know people when there is a good story.
