ONE MINUTE FILM PROGRAM

NO EXPERIENCE NEEDED! DIVERSITY ENCOURAGED!

DEADLINE FOR APPLICATIONS HAS PASSED - please check back in September for next year’s Call for Entries.

The One Minute Film Program is an outreach initiative of AFCOOP, the Atlantic Filmmakers Cooperative. The One Minute Film Program provides people who have little or no filmmaking experience with the opportunity to create their first one-minute film.

Through the program recipients participate in a series of workshops and are provided with all the equipment and supplies necessary to make a film. Each participant will also have an experienced filmmaker as his/her mentor to offer help throughout the process.

Anyone interested in applying to the One Minute Film Program is welcome to attend one of our information sessions. This is a great chance to learn more about the program, view examples of films made through the program, and get application tips.

Through the program participants receive workshop training, mentorship and all the equipment and supplies they’ll need to finish their films. Most importantly they are provided with a community and support from the independent filmmakers that make up AFCOOP.
