Attention filmmakers: Vimeo, in partnership with Nikon and RED, has just launched an incredible opportunity for emerging talents to bring their creative visions to life. The inaugural 'Vimeo Short Film Grant presented by Nikon | RED' is set to provide a total of $150,000 in funding, meaning five lucky filmmakers will each receive $30,000 to produce a short film.
But that’s not all. Winners won’t just get financial backing, they’ll also receive one-on-one mentorship from some of the most respected names in the industry, plus access to top-tier filmmaking gear. Nikon and RED are providing cutting-edge equipment, including the Z Cinema line of RED’s V-Raptor [X] and Komodo-X cinema cameras (now with Z mount options), and Nikon’s high-end mirrorless cameras such as the Z9, Z8, and Z6 III. On top of that, Vimeo will help distribute and promote the winning films, including in-person screenings in NYC and LA.
