The BAVC MediaMaker Fellowship is devoted to supporting documentary filmmakers using bold cinematic language and innovative impact strategies to grapple with critical issues of our time. The goal is to build a safe space for filmmakers to workshop their films. Ideal candidates have the potential to impact the understanding of how documentaries can transform the world, as well as expand the quality of the art of nonfiction. The project should be non-commercial, primarily documentary or non-fiction in nature. This ten-month-long program supports the development of documentary projects that are nearing post-production and include $10,000 distributed to each Fellow over the course of the Fellowship.
