AMP: Artists' Meeting Place and Resource Collective

LA Lens on Sacred Music is putting out a call to Los Angeles
documentary filmmakers for the upcoming World Festival of Sacred
Music in September. We will choose 10 filmmakers to produce 5-7
minute documentary film portraits focused on an artist or group
performing in the festival. Given the grass-roots nature of the
festival approach, each short film will require in-kind support with equipment and labor. The budget for each film will be $1500. The application deadline is July 15 and filmmaker selections will be announced August 1st. Please read attachment for additional details.

For application, email Mark Eby at wfsm@azbri.com.
