The Chimaera Project announced the Call for Entries for the 2022 TO.GET.HER film production finishing funds program.

Casting a net for a wide range of films – including documentaries, drama, action, horror and sci-fi, TO.GET.HER will award up to $6,000 for selected feature film projects, and up to $2,500 for a selected short film projects.
Founders of The Chimaera Project, Shana Betz, Cheryl Bookout, and America Young, said, “Getting finishing funds to complete a film project can sometimes seem like that final unsurmountable hill to climb to achieve a filmmaker’s dream. TO.GET.HER is a program we are extremely proud of as it offers real assistance to artists to finish their projects, move forward in their careers, and bottom line – make films.”
