Grant Description
Fellowships of $3,000 to USA, Canada, and International young early-stage filmmakers to participate in a professional development program in filmmaking. In addition to receipt of the monetary grant, fellows will benefit from mentoring, participate in monthly webinars, workshops, and workshares, and work on a new project throughout the yearlong program. Eligible fellows include emerging fiction and documentary filmmakers between the ages of 18 and 25.

The Sundance Institute and Adobe are teaming up to find the next 10 Sundance Ignite x Adobe Fellows—emerging filmmakers who are creating stories that bring their passion, voice, and perspective to life. 

The Sundance Ignite x Adobe Fellowship program identifies and supports new voices and talent from the next generation of filmmakers by providing artistic and professional development to advance filmmakers to the next stage in their filmmaking. The yearlong Fellowship begins with a one-week digital lab orienting filmmakers to the fellowship and year ahead. Throughout the year, filmmakers will:

  • Work with a Sundance Institute alumni mentor
  • Receive a $3,000 artist grant
  • Participate as a cohort in monthly webinars, workshops and workshares throughout the year
  • Receive a complimentary Adobe Creative Cloud 12-month membership, where Creative Cloud is available.

To choose this year’s fellows, filmmakers are requested to submit a one- to 15-minute short that shows their artistic vision and unique voice.

You will also include materials in support of a new project that you intend to work on throughout the fellowship.

Submission guidelines:
- One entry per person.
- Films submitted must be under 15 minutes long (including credits).
- Films submitted must have been completed within the last 12 months, as of February 14, 2023.
- Accepted video file formats: AVI, FLV, MOV, MP4, or MPEG-2.
- An active project is required for the fellowship, however there is no obligation or expectation to complete the project during the fellowship.
- Materials supporting a project that you intend to work on throughout the yearlong fellowship. These can include lookbooks, five pages of a script, treatments and pitch decks. Note: Materials must be in a PDF format.
