ABOUT AFS GRANTS
The AFS Grant awards funds annually to Texas-based filmmakers working in any style or genre. Filmmakers who live in the state of Texas are encouraged to apply for up to $15,000 in cash for any phase of production, and a development grant is also available for mid-career artists. The AFS Grant aims to ensure that promising Texas artists have access to funding opportunities right here in their home state.
Since its inception in 1996, the AFS Grant has awarded more than $2.8 million in cash grants and more than $340,000 in-kind goods and services to 550+ Texas filmmakers to date, creating life-changing opportunities for artists, many from backgrounds traditionally underrepresented in the film industry and working outside large industry centers. In addition to grants for development, production, and post-production, we provide cash stipends to Texas filmmakers traveling to prestigious film festivals through its AFS Travel Grant program.
Please email us at filmmakersupport@austinfilm.org if you have any questions regarding the grant.
