Oregon Film through its Creative Opportunity Program is offering two $15,000 grants to Oregon-based creators. This grant is designed to support a non-project specific virtual residency, allowing filmmakers to develop, explore, and/or shoot the stories they want to tell, in any format they choose. All filmmakers are welcome to apply, with special emphasis on applicants from historically underserved communities and projects that center or uplift those communities.
Tell Your Story Grant(s) looks to support early or mid-career filmmakers (not entry level) looking to move forward in the film, media, and entertainment fields in Oregon and offer a variety of resources to aid in career development, including connections, insights, and strategies from Oregon Film. Support is for a creative artist and not for a specific project. The time period for the grant usage is from September 2026 to June 2027, with continuing consultations and check-ins available as needed beyond that. Key Dates
