A Fusion of Experience and Fresh Talent

Arizona Cinema Rentals is thrilled to announce a one-of-a-kind grant program designed to cultivate the next generation of filmmakers while also giving back to the Phoenix community. This unique opportunity will pair seasoned industry professionals with young, aspiring filmmakers in a dynamic program that does more than just educate—it also creates lasting social impact.

Partnerships with Top Production Companies

Real-world Projects

Selected grant recipients will be assigned to work on three impactful projects:

• Commercial for a Small Business: No more Nike spec ads! We focus on helping mom-and-pop businesses that truly need high-quality video content.

• Mini-Doc for a Non-Profit or Charity: Create a compelling story for an organization making a difference in the community.

• Art Project for an Independent Artist: Help raise awareness for an under-the-radar artist, whether they are a musician, painter, or clothing designer.

A Community-Building Initiative

This program is not just about film-making. It’s about uplifting local businesses, charities, and artists who can’t afford big-budget productions. In return, they’ll cover minor hard costs like meals for the crew and hard drives.

For non-profits and charities, we’re exploring options for community contributions or financial donations to cover costs, ensuring we maintain the spirit of community support.

The Grand Finale: Indie Film Fest

To celebrate the culmination of this transformative experience, we are partnering with “Indie Film Fest” where the grant recipients can showcase their work during next years festival. Winners may even compete for a grand prize featuring a rental of an Alexa 35 or Arri Mini LF and a 4-ton grip truck.
