September 1, 2006 - The IFP is currently accepting applications from independent films for funding through the Independent Film Training Grant Initiative. The program provides eligible NYC-based production companies with grants to offset the costs associated with training eligible crew members to assume greater on-set responsibilities. Film production companies are able to access the program for only one film project and can receive a maximum of $25,000 per film production budgeted under $3 million. SBS has allocated $150,000 in federal workforce training funds for this pilot program that is administered by IFP, in conjunction with its affiliated Producers Group and the NYC Mayor’s Office of Film, Theatre and Broadcasting. The objective of the program is to maximize the ability of independent film productions to provide on-the-job training for a variety of freelance workers to strengthen their skill sets.
