While the Rainin grant is open internationally, because there is a requirement of eight non-contiguous weeks spent in the Bay Area, the development/packaging phase heavily favors projects shooting at least partially in the Bay Area so that filmmakers do not have to step away from their critical casting and location scouting work during this important time in a production’s lifecycle.
