Through its open call, the WIP Fund supports author-driven, short films that creatively intersect with innovative approaches that are central to Born By A River’s mission. The selected film will be made in the context of a live research project. All projects submitted for the WIP Fund will be assessed on the basis of alignment with Born By A River’s priorities. intersectional representation, innovation in storytelling, and production viability & independence, as well as social and cultural impact. At this time, we do not accept unsolicited Letters of Inquiry (LOI), proposals from organizations, or for impact campaigns.

This particular iteration of the fund will only accept submissions from Camden-based filmmakers.
