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.
A contemporary apocalyptic story of a man, of a people, and of the fate of one of our planet’s most valuable natural resources, the Amazonian Rainforest. Co-produced by the Rooftop Filmmakers’ Fund, this vital film needs your support!
Rooftop showed this sexy, funny short at our “Endless Forgiveness: Romantic Short Films” show in 2009. Now that’s it up online, you can get titilated, too.
Rooftop recently awarded our Eastern Effects Equipment Grant to Andrew Semans’ feature film Nancy, Please. We are thrilled to be supporting the movie, and you can help, too! Kick in a few bucks on Kickstarter.
Rooftop alum/grantee Bill Brown is like the Huck Finn of contemporary American art. Bill and Sabine Gruffat have created The Bike Box, a mobile-media bicycle library and interactive installation housed in the Devotion Gallery.
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.
Rooftop Films hosted a special screening of Todd Chandler’s film Flood Tide: Remixed on July 7. Todd and crew are still hard at work at this astonishing, collaborative project. Help them get it finished by donating via Kickstarter!
he super cool NYC Meerkat Media Collective have put together a few great films that we’ve screened at Rooftop. We’re thrilled to see their new project Brasslands getting real close to fully funded via Kickstarter. Check out the project and give them a boost.
Kickstarter is a fantastic new website that helps fund and follow creativity. Hundreds of artists, including many filmmakers whose work has appeared at Rooftop, are raising vital funds through this collaborative medium.
