Funding + Artist Development Databases

welcome to OTV’s Resource Database Hub!

This is a one-stop destination for indie filmmakers and TV creators seeking funding, festival opportunities, and professional development.

Whether you’re in pre-production, post-production, or looking for ways to grow as an artist, these databases are a starting point for connecting you to the tools and networks you need to bring your projects to life.

What You’ll Find

  • Funding & Grants: Discover grants, film funds, and alternative financing options.

  • Film Festivals: Get submission deadlines, requirements, and insights to find the right festival for your work.

  • Production Resources: Find tools, networks, and services to support every stage of your production.

  • Fellowships & Workshops: Explore artist development programs that can help you refine your craft and expand your network.

All the databases you’ll find below were researched and consolidated by OTV’s very own community member, Olivia Pearson.

Thank you, Olivia, for your time and effort and for investing in the indie film community in this way.

“As an artist, I understand the difficulty of searching for funding and creative opportunities. I created these databases to present the most reputable industry programs to OTV creators. Whether you’re funding a short or need script development, the databases exist to propel your career forward!”
