Legendary director Martin Scorsese once said, “Movies touch our hearts, and awaken our vision, and change the way we see things. They open doors and minds.”

At From the Heart Productions, we believe that films are a catalyst for fostering communication, advancing ideas and education, and creating a better world together. For over 30 years, our sole mission has been to support independent filmmakers who make films that are unique and make a contribution to society. Without our support, many of these films may have never been made.

We support filmmakers through Fiscal Sponsorship, the Roy W. Dean Grant, crowdfunding, education, mentorship, and tons of free resources.

Filmmakers and From the Heart need your help now more than ever! Please support the independent film industry to continue to thrive in these challenging time with a Tax-Deductible Donation through our 501(c)3 Non-Profit.

Whether you donate directly to From the Heart Productions or to one of our Fiscally Sponsored Films, all of your donations are tax-deductible, and you will receive a receipt for tax purposes confirming your donation with our Tax ID # 95 444 5418.

The Roy W. Dean Grant

Now celebrating its 30th year, the Roy W. Dean Film Grants fund independent films that are unique and make a contribution to society that, without its help, might otherwise never get made. Your donation will be added to the upcoming Grant’s cash award, helping one truly exceptional film project become a reality.

From the Heart Productions

From the Heart supports independent filmmakers to get the funding they need to create world changing films. Donating directly to From the Heart allows us to continue to pay our dedicated staff, offer free resources and discounted services to independent filmmakers.

Documentarian Emergency Relief Fund

This fund provides up to $1,000 each month for a period of 10 months to documentary producers and directors facing “dire financial emergencies” during the Covid-19 pandemic. Your contribution allows us to keep this fund going!
