Chicken & Egg Pictures | POV Shorts Co-Production Fund

About this program

Chicken & Egg Pictures and POV Shorts jointly offered $120,000 through the 2023 Co-Production Fund to support new nonfiction short films, awarding three nonrecoupable $40,000 grants and co-producing the selected projects for potential PBS broadcast and digital distribution. Eligible projects were short-form documentary works in progress or already in production, helmed by women and gender-expansive filmmakers. Recipients were selected through a dual-panel review following nominations from film festivals and curators, with projects required to comply with PBS funding and production standards.
