Eligibility
The First Time Video grant is only available to individual, emerging filmmakers. Collaborative projects are not permitted in this grant program. As the majority of the support for the projects is provided in the form of equipment and facilities access, SAW Video grants are intended for residents of Eastern Ontario and Western Quebec. Applicants do not need to be a Canadian citizen or a Permanent Resident of Canada in order to apply. SAW Video actively promotes access for all artists, regardless of age, class, gender, sexual orientation, race or ability.
