It meant so much because this is my first time applying for grants and it can seem so daunting, but she made me feel a lot more comfortable!.”

I’m so appreciative of the wonderful advice Carole Joyce provided regarding my efforts to fully fund my film project. To step out of my own world, and hear from someone who brought a fresh perspective as well as her wisdom regarding independent filmmaking on how to generate funding and attention for the project was so helpful and inspiring. A true boost to my work.
