Last December, Kareem Alston-Rosales launched the nonprofit “Film 4 Good Fund.” Alston-Rosales noticed gaps in access to funding for independent filmmakers after years of work in philanthropy. The nonprofit, which aims to make it easier for independent filmmakers to receive direct grant funding for projects that are nearing the finish line, just gave out its first grant last week to Portland-based filmmaker Ime N. Etuk.
Alston-Rosales and Etuk joined OPB’s “Think Out Loud” to discuss the Film 4 Good Fund’s work, and what these pathways to grant funding can mean for independent filmmakers.
