Mission Statement

The Reimagined Glass Film Fund aims to support emerging filmmakers in creating innovative and impactful content, fostering a community of young filmmakers and industry professionals, and providing resources and opportunities for talented individuals to develop their skills and advance their careers.

Contribution Structure

All rentals for commercial hire will contribute 10% of the rental fee to the film fund, at no extra cost to the renter.

• The contribution will be calculated based on the total rental fee, regardless of the rental duration.
  • For example a one day rental: 10% of $600 = $60 goes into the film fund, a three day rental: 10% of $1800 = $180 goes into the film fund.
• There will be no minimum rental duration required to trigger the contribution, only that it is a full rate hire.
