Stio and 5Point Film invite filmmakers, adventurers, and storytellers to participate in the Stio Short Film Challenge, an opportunity to showcase your creativity and passion for the mountains.
Submit your concept for a short (1-2 minutes) film that captures this year’s theme -“Joy In The Mountains” - in a creative and non-traditional way. We’ll award two $5000 grants to two projects that will then premiere at 5Point’s Flagship Festival, April 24-27.
Submissions are now closed.
The 5Point Film Fund consists of two separate grants:
- 5Point Film will award up to $5,000 to a project that aligns with our guiding principles.
- NRS will award $10,000 to a project that pushes the boundaries of the traditional paddling or water-focused film.
Submissions are now closed.
We are thrilled to partner with the filmmaking team behind Adaptation and act as the fiscal sponsor for the feature film project. When made through 5Point, donations to the film are tax-deductible and also support our work to champion independent filmmakers.
In rural South Carolina sits an advanced research facility. Behind these walls, engineers recreate hail, hurricane force winds and simulate wildfires to understand how humans can adapt to the climate crisis. Adaptation provides a powerful testament to humanity's ability to confront a changing world.
This $20,000 grant is designed for filmmakers of color to share stories that increase representation in nature. This grant is aimed at emerging filmmakers who have directed no more than two distributed short films.
Submissions are now closed.
Thanks to our amazing filmmakers for sharing their work. What will you make?
