Announced as part of Adobe’s presence at this year’s Sundance Film Festival, the company, well-known for its video editing apps like Premiere and After Effects, has shared some info outlining its commitments made to filmmakers and creators this year as well.
The company's goal is to expand access to storytelling and help unlock creative opportunities and career advancement for creators worldwide.
If you’re a filmmaker looking for access to funds and support as you work to develop and launch your career in the face of an industry landscape that is rapidly changing with the rise of AI tools and features (many of which are part of the Adobe Creative Cloud these days), then here’s what you need to know about these opportunities.
Adobe Film & TV Fund
The main part of this news, released by Adobe, centers on the company’s Film & TV Fund, a fund that aims to support emerging and mid-career filmmakers by combining funding, fellowships, training, and Adobe product access to help them develop projects, build careers, and tell next-generation stories.
The fund invests in independent film and TV projects, equips creators with modern, AI-powered Adobe tools and skills, and partners with community organizations.
As part of this expansion, which Adobe has outlined, the company is scaling the Adobe Film & TV Fund to direct more funds to the production of filmmakers’ stories.
With this new approach, creators of all backgrounds are able to receive funding and product donations for their films through two pathways: via our industry-leading community partners and, for the first time, directly from Adobe.
