Archive for the ‘Rooftop Filmmakers' Fund’ Category

Rooftop Films not only exhibits films from around the world, we also collaborate with the filmmakers whose work we screen to make new movies through the Rooftop Filmmakers’ Fund and Production Collective. At our annual festival, one dollar of every ticket sold is set aside for the future productions of filmmakers whose work we’ve screened. We also grant production services and mentorship by working with local partners Edgeworx Studios, Eastern Effects and Chicken & Egg Pictures. Read more below and in the For Filmmakers section of our website.

Earlier this summer, Rooftop screened Keith Miller’s ethically and technically fascinating dramatic recreation of actual events, Prince/William. Now working on his new feature film in a similar mode, the film (and the process) promise to be very interesting, and deserve your support on Kickstarter.

Rooftop Films screened the Craig Macneill’s astonishing, dynamic, hilariously bizarre Late Bloomer back in 2007. Craig and his writing partner Clay McLeod Chapman have a new film in the works, and we’re sure it will be visually lush and emotionally fertile. Help support the film with a donation on Kickstarter.
