Frequently asked questions
What kinds of film opportunities are listed here?+
Production and development grants, screenwriting fellowships and labs, and pitch calls from outlets commissioning film and culture writing. Casting calls and auditions are out of scope — this page is for funding and commissioned work, not performance.
Do film grants fund documentaries and shorts?+
Yes — documentary funds and short-film grants are the most common film funding listed. Narrative feature development support appears mostly as fellowships and labs. Each listing states what formats the program funds.
Where do these opportunity listings come from?+
Opportunities are aggregated daily from publishers' and organizations' own submission pages and portals, plus curated editorial sources. Every listing is checked for real pay or a real award — explicitly unpaid calls are filtered out, and contests whose entry fee outweighs any stated prize are rejected automatically.
Why is the organization name hidden on some listings?+
Browsing titles, deadlines, award amounts, and entry fees is free. The hosting organization and direct submission link are unlocked with a paid CozyJobs membership — that curation is what the subscription funds. Plans start at $25/month; see cozyjobs.com/pricing.
How often are these pages updated?+
Continuously. New opportunities are ingested throughout the day, deadlines are monitored, and listings are removed automatically when their submission window closes.
