Singapore Filmmakers Ponder Myriad Routes to Short Film Funding in Southeast Asia

"Sangchul Lee is the chief operating officer of C47 Investment, a primarily Korean outfit that is now also operating in Southeast Asia, having just launched a short film distribution grant for filmmakers in the region in partnership with Singapore’s Momo Film. C47 also commissions shorts.

When there’s a talented filmmaker that we really want to work with and build a relationship maybe as an investment to that person and that person’s potential future project, we can commission a short film with them,” said Lee."

"Singapore-based film agency Momo Film Co is launching the Momo Distribution Grant in partnership with C47 Investment. The grant aims to meet the gap filmmakers often face in distributing their short films and help emerging Southeast Asian filmmakers gain deserved attention worldwide. The grant will support up to five short films each year with a cash amount of S$800 ($600) each.

Applications for the grant will start from Jan. 1, 2021 through Feb. 28. It is open to filmmakers of Southeast Asian nationality, who have made at least one short film that has screened at international festivals or programs, but not made a feature length film before, and who are not full-time students."
