Are you an LA-based filmmaker looking to get your short film past the finish line? Do you need support to keep your project on budget during post-production?

ABOUT

The Fix It In Post Fund provides a $2,500 post-production grant to an LA-based filmmaker working to complete a short film. As filmmakers ourselves, we know how difficult it can be to carry a project through post-production, and this fund is designed to help bring that work to completion and into the world.

Applications are currently closed.
