Overview

Flatiron Film Project’s Spring Film Grants Program is a Broomfield-based nonprofit grants initiative rather than a traditional public screening festival. It is notable for supporting emerging U.S.-based indie filmmakers with cash awards, festival submission waivers, and strategy support, with a special emphasis on Colorado artists and projects shot in the United States. The program accepts narrative, documentary, short, feature, web/new media, TV, and theater projects, and it is significant as a funding and career-advancement platform within the independent film circuit rather than as a showcase-only event.
