mm

mm (pronounced “millimeter”) was created by SOVO// Projects to support passionately experimental filmmakers who explore and expand the expressive potential of films on film, including 16mm, Super8, and VHS formats. With this initiative, we are seeking to expand our diverse collective of independent artists to welcome both internationally eminent and emerging filmmakers whose creative projects interpret the eccentricities of human existence and cultural difference through moving images and sounds.

mm supports filmmakers each step of the way. Phase I includes research and development, writing, and budgeting, followed by marketing and fundraising. After the film is fully funded, it enters Phase II, where filmmakers will receive support from pre-production all the way through to post-production. mm also assists filmmakers with licensing, distribution and promotion.

Committed to sharing resources, educating our members, and providing a platform for unconventional work, mm challenges contemporary cinematic forms and urges filmmakers to take on new roles and learn new skills, all while developing their own ideas and talents.

Participation in mm is by application only. We accept proposals for films in any phase of development. To pitch your idea, please fill out the application here. Proposals will be reviewed and accepted according to our availability.
