CALIFORNIA DOCUMENTARY PROJECT
Grant funding for film, audio and interactive documentaries
Deadline: November 2, 2020
California Humanities invites proposals for the 2020 California Documentary Project (CDP) grant program for film, audio, and interactive media projects that explore California in all its complexity. We seek documentary projects that bring new and previously unheard perspectives to light; reflect a broad cross-section of Californians’ stories; and help reveal the breadth and range of California’s cultures, peoples, and histories. Productions of any documentary style and length are eligible—shorts, features, podcasts, web series, VR, (and more)—we like them all!
