Directing Change Los Angeles, CA 90025 The Directing Change Program & Film Contest is a public health program and film contest that engages youth around the topics of mental health and suicide prevention through the creation of short films. California youth aged 14-25 and/or in grades 6-12 are invited to create 60-second films that help to reduce stigma around mental health, receiving support, reaching out for help, and to educate peers on noticing the signs for suicide. Youth can win cash prizes and trophies, secure attendance at networking events and a red-carpet awards ceremony, and have their films used for education, training, and advocacy purposes at the county and statewide level. As mental health challenges and suicidal ideation predominantly affect young women, the Directing Change Program highly encourages female filmmakers to participate in both the educational and filmmaking aspects of the program, to better support young women who are personally dealing with mental health challenges or have friends/family members dealing with these challenges, as well as to better create communities where young female voices are being heard.

Our program is open to all youth, but we do have a specific film category catered towards diverse communities (Through the Lens of Culture), which tends to attract PoC and LGBTQ community members specifically.

GLAS Animation 5509 Colfax Avenue, North Hollywood, CA, 91601 The GLAS Animation Grant Program is designed to fund independent animation filmmakers living and able to work in the United States who are making films outside of academic institutions. As filmmakers ourselves, we had a keen understanding of the lack of opportunities for funds specifically geared towards independent animators working outside of a commercial context, making bold, artistic work. In fact, there were literally no national grants exclusively for animators in the United States. We wanted to change that, and support animation artists making groundbreaking and vital work.

For the 2019 GLAS Animation Grant cycle, two separate $2500 grants (made possible with the support of an Anonymous donor) are to be awarded to two individual filmmakers living and working in the United States to create independent short films.
