About Frameline Completion Fund
The Frameline Completion Fund supports film and video projects that contribute to the visibility and representation of LGBTQ+ people and their communities.
The program is intended specifically for filmmakers who have already developed their projects to a substantial stage but need additional resources to complete the work.
Supported projects can be of different formats, lengths, genres, and styles, provided they focus on LGBTQ+ people or communities.
Benefits of Frameline Completion Fund
- Selected filmmakers can receive up to $5,000 through the Frameline Completion Fund.
Frameline Completion Fund Requirements
The fund is open to filmmakers working on eligible LGBTQ+-focused projects.
The Completion Fund accepts projects in all categories, from documentary and narrative works to experimental, animated, or episodic projects, so long as the films are about LGBTQ+ people and their communities.
- Only applications that provide a full working cut of the film will be considered. Temporary sound, color, or visual effects are allowed — just let us know what’s missing or still being worked on in your application. However, we cannot consider films without a rough cut.
- Grants are given for completion only, so 90% of production must be finished. If you aren’t in the post-production phase, you must be ready to begin post-production as soon as this funding is in place.
- Grants will only be given to projects about LGBTQ+ people and their communities.
- Grants are only given to individuals with creative and financial control of the project. In the case of collaboration, a sole project director must be designated as the applicant.
- Grants will be given to projects in any film/video format, of any length, genre, or nationality.
- Members of the Frameline staff and/or Frameline Board of Directors are ineligible.
