2022 Scout Emerging Filmmakers Grants

Scout offers grants for emerging filmmakers, sponsored by the American director and screenwriter, Colin Trevorrow, known for the indie film Safety Not Guaranteed (2012), the blockbuster hit Jurassic World, and Jurassic World: Dominion, the third chapter in the JW trilogy, which he directed and produced, and co-wrote with Emily Carmichael.

“Today’s technology gives young filmmakers from all backgrounds an unprecedented opportunity to create,” said Trevorrow, “I’m proud to partner with the Scout Film Festival to support our next generation of storytellers”. 

In partnership with Visura.co, Scout's Educational Program annually launches an open call for two emerging filmmakers to receive $5,000.00 in cash for the completion of a new short film or work in progress in one of two separate age categories; 18 and Under or 19 to 24.

The mission of the grant is to 1) recognize filmmakers aged 24 and under from around the world; 2) support a new film or work in progress; 3) connect emerging filmmakers with key industry leaders worldwide, and 4) support the next generation of film leaders.

We will be accepting submissions May 19, 2022 through September 2, 2022!
