Cinereach Names 2010 Reach Film Fellows

Cinereach has announced the names of the 2010 Reach Film Fellows and their mentors, launching the third year of a program that “nurtures socially conscious filmmakers at early stages in their careers.” The Reach Film Fellowship (RFF) is a six-month program in which four filmmakers work with individual mentors, a team of advisors, and Cinereach staff to take their short fiction and nonfiction films from concept to completion. RFF fellows each receive a $5,000 grant and production resources. At the conclusion of the fellowship cycle, an additional $5,000 award will be presented to one of the four Fellows for the completion and distribution of his or her film. Mentors this year include: Marilyn Agrelo (“Mad Hot Ballroom”), Laurie Collyer (“Sherrybaby”), Annie Sundberg (“The Devil Came on Horseback”) and Jeremy Kipp Walker (“Cold Souls”). Fellows are: Nadia Hallgren (“Love Lockdown”), Courtney Hope (“Wild Birds”), Gabriel Long (“Brothers”) and Anthony Morrison (“Our Principal Intent”).

“We’ve seen how access to mentorship and advising from successful independent filmmakers really makes the difference for those just starting out,” said Cinereach founder and executive director Philipp Engelhorn in a statement. “It’s critical to encourage young filmmakers who are inclined towards making films of social relevance, and to help them do that effectively through cinematic storytelling.”
