BPM Open Call – Production Funding
As proven by films that BPM has supported over the years, stories have a unique ability to amplify voices, foster cultural transformation and promote societal shifts. We look to our community of talented media makers to produce compelling, nuanced stories that add the point of view, experiences, and concerns of the Black community to the larger public discourse. In this year's Open Call, we are accepting nonfiction projects only. However, all subject areas are accepted.
