Catapult Film Fund 2025
About This Opportunity
Catapult Film Fund is dedicated to supporting nonfiction filmmakers with critical early stage funding and mentorship to launch distinctive, story-driven, and cinematic films. We believe in taking a chance on filmmakers who have ideas for artful and compelling nonfiction films that make us think differently about the world. Every day, we help launch new projects by providing research and development funding for documentary filmmakers because getting films off the ground is incredibly hard.
