We enable filmmakers to develop their projects to the next level, at the early stage when funding is hard to find. We support powerful and moving storytelling by filmmakers with a strong voice across a broad spectrum of subject matter. In addition to the Development Grant, recipients have access to a mentorship program with the Catapult team, in areas including story development, production process, fundraising and distribution strategy. Catapult's involvement with each project is uniquely tailored to the needs of the filmmakers. 155500 155500 Catapult offers the potential of additional financial support to its development grantees in the form of Momentum Grants and Consulting Grants. Catapult grantees may apply for a Momentum Grant for up to $15,000 when they reach a point in their filmmaking process when an infusion of funds can propel them to their next step. Examples include hiring an editor, getting transcripts translated, archival research, or music composition. 1500 1500 Catapult Film Fund also partners with The True/False Film Festival for the annual Rough Cut Retreat (RCR), a one-of-a-kind mentorship experience. Launched in 2016, RCR unites nonfiction filmmakers and mentors in a creative, supportive, and engaged atmosphere. The annual Rough Cut Retreat offers filmmakers & their projects thoughtful feedback to help move films from a rough cut to a final cut with an eye on winter festival deadlines which they can seek to bring on additional key team members, partners, and funders. The fellowship is geared towards emerging filmmakers who have directed short films previously and for whom this is their first feature, or for filmmakers who have directed one or two features already. 1264366 true true false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false true false false false false false false false true false true true false false false false false false false false true 31 0 false 5 true false false false false false false false 0 false false false false false false false X 3 2 false false false false false false false true true false false true false false false false false false CA X Third Plateau 5108414023 127 University Avenue Berkeley CA 94710 X Theresa Navarro Dir/Opps Officer 40.00 0.00 121000 0 10788 Megan Gelstein Dir/Prog Officer 40.00 0.00 121000 0 7080 Lisa Kleiner-Chanoff Chairman 25.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Bonni Cohen Secretary 5.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Caroline von Kuhn Director 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 242000 17868 2 false false false 0 1366959 1118709 1366959 0 308 308 0 0 0 1125095 1118709 6386 6386 6386 0 0 0 Returned Grant 15000 15000 15000 1388653 15000 6694 682000 682000 0 0 0 0 0 393075 318391 60926 13758 0 40932 33155 6344 1433 31416 25447 4869 1100 37858 37858 0 8017 8017 0 0 0 117902 116328 1574 500 405 78 17 4813 4813 0 0 29620 23992 4591 1037 0 0 52222 47000 5222 0 0 0 7073 5729 1096 248 Books, Subscriptions, Ref 5157 4177 980 Telephone/Internet 4357 3530 675 152 Professional Development 4075 3301 632 142 Website 1822 911 911 513 513 1421352 1264366 139099 17887 5200 60232 140518 61723 0 10000 0 0 0 0 13407 11056 0 0 0 0 0 0 159125 143011 12271 27584 12271 27584 X 146854 115427 146854 115427 159125 143011 -32699 1272 X false false false X 1036488 956387 1287917 904125 1366959 5551876 0 0 1036488 956387 1287917 904125 1366959 5551876 4587234 964642 423 119 43 789 307 1681 0 0 5553557 0.17370 0.16580 X Current Year Facts and Circumstances: In 2023, Catapult shifted to a co-leadership model with a CPO and COO leading fundraising strategy.
