What is the additional accessibility funding for Audio Descriptions and Closed Captioning?

In partnership with the Kenneth Rainin Foundation and the SFFILM Disability Advisory Board, the Rainin grant is now offering up to $5,000 in additional funding to incorporate Audio Descriptions in the Screenwriting Phase or Audio Descriptions and/or Captioning in the Post-Production Phase. This is part of an effort for wider access and inclusion in film and is entirely opt-in for applicants.

Captioning and audio descriptions must be in accordance with the guidelines and/or common practices set forth by the American Council of the Blind and the National Association of the Deaf.
