Providing financial support to women, non-binary, and trans filmmakers telling 2SLGBTQ+ stories.
Established in 2018, Inside Out’s RE:Focus Fund aims to address industry inequities through providing direct financial support to women, non-binary, and/or trans filmmakers telling 2SLGBTQ+ stories.
Founded through a lead gift from Martha McCain, the fund has distributed more than $300,000 in festival travel grants and professional development programs for filmmakers since its creation.
In 2019, Inside Out expanded the fund with the launch of the RE:Focus Fund Post-Production Grants to support post-production and promotion of short and feature films.
