Application guidelines now detail strict supporting material requirements, including specific page counts for treatments and minimum runtimes for rough cuts. If you are seeking production or post-production funding, having a producer attached to your project is now highly recommended. Keep in mind that directors with an open grant for a project are ineligible to apply for post-production support for that same film.
