Chicken & Egg Pictures Open Call: Now Open for Submissions

Deadline June 30, 2009

Chicken & Egg Pictures is a hybrid film fund and nonprofit production company dedicated to supporting women filmmakers who are as passionate about the craft of storytelling as they are about the social justice, environmental and human rights issues they’re embracing, translating and exploring on film.

They match strategically timed financial support with rigorous, respectful and dynamic mentorship, creative collaboration and community-building to nurture women filmmakers whose diverse voices represent a range of lived experience and realities that have the power to change the world as we know it.

Filmmakers are supported at pivotal "chicken & egg" moments, and can apply for support from development to completion. Since its founding in 2005, Chicken & Egg Pictures has provided approximately 1 million dollars in funding to over 50 women-made films.

This open call is for non-fiction projects (unless otherwise solicited) that are dedicated to progressive social change - both short and feature-length, "webisodes," animation, experimental and multiplatform new-media hybrids.
