Project-Based Funding
Project-based funding for new and emerging talents — filmmakers, actors, writers, artists and technicians working across film and television production.
The New Vision Film Foundation is the first 501(c)(3) film foundation in the United States, committed to empowering new and emerging talents across all aspects of film and television production, including filmmakers, actors, writers, artists and technicians, by providing project-based funding, mentorship, hands-on training, educational opportunities, and access to industry resources. We believe that bold, original voices—both behind and in front of the camera—have the power to shape culture, spark change, and to move audiences.
As of 2026, New Jersey is no longer a backup location. In recent years, the Garden State has become one of the industry's leading destinations for film and television production. In 2024 alone, film and television production brought in $833 million in spending. New Vision was founded to nurture New Jersey based visionaries with creative and financial support, and to bring their stories to life, from concept to screen.
But even if you're new to the industry, outside the industry, or just have no idea where to begin, we want to hear from you. We're a group of industry professionals with lifelong roots in the Garden State. And we're bringing homegrown indie filmmaking back to New Jersey.
New Vision's board of 7 seasoned industry veterans brings decades of experience across writing, directing, producing, and distribution.
