Montana Film Office Announces Big Sky Film Grant Awards

The Montana Film Office at the Department of Commerce today announced $500,000 in grant awards for productions filming in Montana, including several by resident filmmakers.

"Film production brings dollars into communities across the state," said Montana Film Commissioner Allison Whitmer. "The Big Sky Film Grant helps to grow the industry from two sides. It provides an incentive for productions to come here and gives an edge to our own filmmakers who are sharing Montana with the world through their work."

The grant comprises three categories: feature film and TV, development, and resident filmmaker. The development category covers any non-feature-length projects such as web series.

The following projects received a grant:
