    How to Become a Sponsor of the Grants

    Want to be part of a winning film?

    The recipients of the Roy W. Dean Grants consistently produce winning films and projects. With the competition of applicants vying for the top spot for the Roy W. Dean Grants, we consistently get top films produced and we have distribution channels that anxiously await every Roy W. Dean Grant film to be finished.

    When a person wins the Roy W. Dean Grants they also win the services of a very skilled winning team of sponsors. Our sponsors go through a competitive process and are judged by a panel of experienced successful industry professionals before they are accepted as part of the winning team.

    What do you get as a sponsor?

    We, at From the Heart Productions, are very aware that if it weren't for you and your generosity there would be no grants or winning films, which is why our slogan is always “The filmmaker’s most publicized, sought after grant…from heart-felt donors” We acknowledge this fact by putting the sponsors on our widely publicized press releases and media coverage. For details as to how great our exposure is please contact our publicist Carole Dean.
