New FAQ : Answer
What is a co-applicant? How do I know if someone on my team qualifies as a co-applicant?
A co-applicant in the case of the FilmHouse application, is a close collaborator like a co-director/writer or producer that will participate in the residency alongside you as a FilmHouse resident. A co-applicant is expected to actively participate in the residency to the same extent as the primary applicant and will be given full access to the residency. However, if you have a team member that is not sure they can commit to a full residency, they will still be allowed to attend meetings alongside you and work in the FilmHouse space as your guest.
Do you only support Feature-length Documentaries and Narratives?
The residency program supports filmmakers working on documentary, fiction, and hybrid feature-length films as well as shorts and episodics.
When are applicants notified?
Applicants will be notified of their status by mid-November
Do I need to live in the Bay Area?
Yes, all residents must reside full-time in the Bay Area.
