Fiscal Sponsorship

Securing funding for independent films is difficult, so MAF provides fiscal sponsorship for MAF members.
In general, a MAF member can seek fiscal sponsorship for any aspect of filmmaking including filmmaking, screenwriting, acting, etc. by submitting a proposal to MAF for review. All films for consideration must be not for profit and cannot have investors attached.  Approval is also based on how long you’ve been a member, how active you are, and if you are shooting in the Midwest.

Education

MAF provides opportunities for aspiring young filmmakers to explore the art of filmmaking.
Get members present at schools and community groups, let truly interested individuals be a P.A. (Production Assistant) on a film set, and offer other related educational activities.
During MAF Meetings, "Making Movie Magic" presentations invite expert guests to educate on topics like editing, acting, costuming, prop creation, puppetry, make-up, crowdfunding, visual effects, script writing, documentary filmmaking, stop-motion animation and more.
Recordings of some of our presentations are available for free on our YouTube Channel!
