(Deadline) The Muslim Public Affairs Council on Thursday opened submissions for the newly launched Hollywood Bureau Filmmaker Grant, supporting black Muslim filmmakers.
The $10,000 grant is open to those who identify as black Muslims; are either U.S. citizens or permanent residents; and have an episodic, narrative or animated project in development, production or post-production. It was made possible with support from the CAA Foundation and its Full Story Initiative, designed to generate more authentic and equitable storytelling in television and film.
“MPAC’s Hollywood Bureau is honored to support black Muslim filmmakers and provide opportunities that serve as a gateway for underrepresented talent into the industry,” said Sue Obeidi, who serves as director of the Hollywood Bureau.
