The CNY Film Fund is a grant-funded incentive program to support feature film-making in Central New York.  It is comprised of a Theatrical and a Non-Theatrical program to support professional feature filmmakers and independent filmmakers alike.

The CNY Short Film Competition will award four film makers $40,000 each to produce a short film in CNY.  The competition is restricted to those aspiring film makers that have graduated (or will graduate in 2019) from a CNY college or university in the last ten years.
