Description
The Building Bridges Completion Fund, part of the Sundance Institute's Artist Accelerator Program, is dedicated to supporting U.S.-based directors, writers, and producers working on feature films, short films, or episodic projects that amplify the universality and distinctiveness of U.S. Muslim narratives. Launched in 2024 with support from the Doris Duke Foundation, the fund provides up to $25,000 per project for either post-production or impact campaign activities. The fund is specifically designed to assist filmmakers during the crucial period between festival acceptance and premiere, helping them finalize projects and maximize their festival and distribution strategies. This initiative aims to empower artists to enhance their creative output and reach broader audiences.
