ARRAY, Ava DuVernay’s film collective, has partnered with Google to offer emerging creatives from historically underrepresented communities the chance to apply for a $500,000 grant.
The ARRAY + Google Feature Film Grant will provide funds to produce the recipient’s first full-length feature film. It was launched as a way to help build a more equitable and inclusive artistic community of diverse storytellers.
The recipient of this mentorship and filmmaking opportunity will be selected by an advisory committee that includes Gabrielle Glore (Urbanworld, festival director and head of programming), Francis Cullado (Los Angeles Asian Pacific Film Festival, executive director for visual communications media), Crystal Echo Hawk (IllumiNative, founder and executive director), María Rauqel Bozzi (senior director of education and international initiatives at Film Independent) and Smriti Kiran (artistic director, Jio MAMI Mumbai Film Festival).
