Why We Created the Carole Dorothy Joyce Grant for Student Filmmakers
Carole Joyce
Since its founding in 1993, From the Heart Productions has offered grants supporting independent filmmakers that are also available to students.
Carole Joyce, as Director of our Roy W. Dean Grants, consults with many of those who applied for those grants. She was touched by how many student applicants told her of the lack of grants for student filmmakers.
As a graduate of Brooks Institute and an award winning student filmmaker herself for the documentary “Survivors,” Carole knows how difficult a task students have in creating and funding their work.
Carole, who is the granddaughter of Roy W. Dean, and From the Heart Productions want to support student filmmakers and encourage them to make films with stories told with passion that enlighten us about our lives and the world we live in.
Every Filmmaker Gets Help for Their Project by Just Applying
Each applicant will be offered the opportunity to receive a 15-minute consultation on their film.
Filmmakers can get advice on how to find funding, build up a database of donors or investors, market their film, and more.
