Date/time: 
March 2, 2012 (All day)

Working Films is pleased to announce grassroots mini-grants to support the Reel Power Film Festival. Reel Power is a collection of films that tell stories from the frontlines of our energy crisis and into our energy future and that hold the power to get your community talking and taking action.

Deadline: March 2

While anyone can host a Reel Power Film Festival, organizations and grassroots groups that are impacted by natural resource extraction or that are tapping into renewable energy solutions are invited to apply for a mini-grant to support their event. 

Deep Down, Dirty Business, Gasland, Split Estate, and Sun Come Up are all available for grassroots screenings. Cape Spin, Cooked, Green Shall Overcome, Solarize This, and When Two Worlds Collide are out in theaters or works-in-progress with available trailers. You can read more about the films and see their trailers at workingfilms.org/reelpower.

If you answer yes to all of the following statements you qualify to apply for a mini-grant:
•    Do you live in a community where natural resource extraction such as mountaintop removal, fracking, or coal-fired power plant is happening? Or are you in a community where alternative energy solutions are being implemented?
•    Is your organization advocating for just and sustainable practices?
•    Do you need the funding assistance in order to be able to host the Reel Power Film Festival?
