The deadline to apply for the Project: Hatched 2023 grant is approaching and I haven’t heard back from the festival I submitted my film to. Can I send a roughcut and let you know when I hear back from the festival?

Unfortunately, we are only able to consider films who will have a confirmed premiere by Tuesday, January 17, 2023. We have seen that films premiering by March 2023 will likely have received their premiere confirmation by the time Project: Hatched 2023 Open Call closes, on Tuesday,  January 17. We understand delays may happen– if your film receives a festival premiere confirmation within two weeks after the deadline, please contact us to discuss the possibility of considering your application. 

Please note that without a festival premiere or confirmed premiere, your application will be marked ineligible and removed from our review process. Due to the volume of applications we receive, we will not be able to notify you that your application has been disqualified.
