Exciting stuff is happening in the INDIE GRANTS realm, with the 2024 funding cycle now open!
INDIE GRANTS funds and produces South Carolina short films with a high level of production value and storytelling.

SUBMISSIONS ARE DUE AUG. 5. Review the application and get everything you need here.
As part of Indie Grants prep, the South Carolina Film Commission will be holding a one-day INDIE FILM DEVELOPMENT workshop on Saturday, June 1, at Trident Technical College in North Charleston.
The free seminar will take place from 10a-5p in Building 970 at Trident Technical College (7000 Rivers Ave., North Charleston, SC).
It will be led by experienced industry professionals in four stages of content development — Story/Creative, Production Management, Physical Production, and Financing/Marketing/Distribution.
It will be capped off with a recent South Carolina independent feature-film as case study and a Q&A on INDIE GRANTS.
Ideal for feature-films, webisodics, proof-of-concepts, docs and shorts, it will serve as a comprehensive primer on the mechanics of developing, creating, and selling content, especially in the independent film space.
With many of these principles required by the INDIE GRANTS application, submissions are a great place to put these concepts into practice right away.
