The Film Grove Online Film Festival is the first step to getting paid for your film. Film Grove uses its festival to obtain quality short and feature films for its streaming channel. If you are invited to show your film on our streaming channel, you become a participant in our profit sharing program whereby you are paid for the number of complete views your film receives per quarter.
Film Grove limits it content to films written by, directed by, or starring women and people of color. We also show films where the subject matter is of importance to women and people of color.
Film Grove screeners determine the awards for:
Best Feature Film - $500
Runner Up Feature Film - $350
Best Short Film - $250
Runner Up Short Film - $150
Each film that the screeners determine to be of good quality will be invited to be shown on the Film Grove streaming channel. Filmmakers are paid through a profit sharing arrangement where the filmmaker receives payment based on the number of views per quarter. The number of views are determined and reported by an independent third party.
