For the last eleven years, TAA has supported ten film projects in the U.S. and Puerto Rico whose helmers come from typically underrepresented communities with grants of $15,000.
This year, six of the ten selected projects are directed or co-directed by women. There is also an eleventh project, Stella Maghie’s Jean of the Joneses , that will receive mentorship and support.
