The Digital Cinema Grant Program anticipates receiving many more proposals than we can possibly service. We will try to accommodate as many as possible, but filmmakers must realize that this is a competitive grant program. Submitting your project will not automatically get you an equipment grant. As a result, we suggest a back-up plan. We will however guarantee a grant award ratio of at least 1/100 applicants and will work on increasing that guarantee over time.

GET YOUR PROPOSALS IN AT LEAST TWO MONTHS BEFORE YOU PLAN TO SHOOT! Due to the high demand for RED One cameras and equipment, it behooves you to plan ahead and contact us early.

The Digital Cinema Grant Program does not discriminate as to the nature of the project that can receive equipment grants. Any form, from experimental to documentary, from musical to traditional narrative are welcome. Unfortunately, the cameras cannot be used on productions shooting outside the United States. Customs laws make transportation of cameras out of the US prohibitive.

The Digital Cinema Grant Program will not allow cameras to be used on projects that perpetuate racial or sexual stereotypes and prejudices. Pornography is absolutely unacceptable.
