The Gorilla Creative Film Scholarships

At Gorilla Creative, we're passionate about nurturing the next generation of filmmakers by offering both financial support and valuable industry connections. We're excited to introduce the Gorilla Creative Future Filmmaker Scholarship, designed to empower the next generation of filmmakers and media creators.

We are offering six $1,000 scholarships each year to talented students studying filmmaking or video production.

The Gorilla Creative Future Filmmaker Scholarship is designed to provide financial support to talented students and foster innovative filmmaking.
