We will accept film proposals from August 8 until the deadline September 26.
This Year’s Theme
For the 2025 Voices With Impact Film Grant we are looking for film proposals that explore…
Visibility / Invisibility: the seen and unseen of mental health.
We’re looking for honest, intriguing, humanizing, authentic stories inspired by lived experience of mental health. We don’t need these stories to be heavy though, we love exploring the lightness of these topics too, and the joy that can be found! We welcome comedy, horror, animation, drama, experimental, documentary, romance, and westerns – hey even sci-fi and fantasy if our juror’s believe it’ll fit the budget.
Take a look at some past winning films to get an idea at what we’re looking for:
