Ocean Storytelling Film Grant

About this opportunity

The Save Our Seas Foundation Ocean Storytelling Film Grant provides funding for filmmakers to produce short films that tell cinematic conservation stories about our oceans. The grant supports the production of visually stunning films up to 20 minutes in duration that engage audiences with marine conservation topics. Stories can range from marine animals to fisheries to coastal communities whose lives are intertwined with marine life. The Foundation has a strong history of supporting marine conservation projects and believes that effective, meaningful change requires communication through engaging stories. The grant particularly seeks to support early-career and emerging storytellers to encourage new voices with fresh perspectives and approaches to ocean storytelling.
