Who is eligible to apply to Project: Hatched 2024?

Project: Hatched 2024 supports women (cis and trans) and gender-expansive directors who are implementing an impact campaign for their completed film. Co-directing teams, where one director is a woman or gender-expansive filmmaker are eligible. In this case, please note that the primary contact of the application should be the woman or gender expansive director.

Cis (or cisgender) refers to people whose gender identity aligns with the sex they were given at birth. 

Trans (or transgender) is a term used broadly as an umbrella term to describe anyone whose gender identity differs from their assigned sex. It can also be used more narrowly as a gender identity that reflects a binary gender identity that is “opposite” or “across from” the sex they were assigned at birth. 

Our working definition of gender-expansive is that it is an umbrella term that includes any person whose gender identity (including but not limited to non-binary, trans, third gender/two spirit, agender) or gender expression does not comply with the socially defined gender norms and roles of their culture. 

If you are unsure about if you are eligible, please refer to additional information on the gender expansion page of our website.
