  • Samples and additional documents requested through the funder’s subsequent process.

Terms to read first

Rights noteFor grants, Perspective says it takes no film rights or editorial control. Aggregate support of $150,000 or more may involve an association credit. An invited co-production is a separate contractual arrangement; do not infer its rights from grant terms.
