The PIC Shorts Fund, administered by Pacific Islanders in Communications, is a grant program dedicated to fostering Pacific Islander voices in film. It provides financial support for the production of short-form fiction and nonfiction works, with a focus on stories that reflect the diverse experiences of Pacific Islander communities. The fund is open to filmmakers in the United States and globally, underscoring PIC's commitment to a diasporic and international perspective. While the exact grant amount and deadline are not specified in the available information, the fund's core mission is to enable artists to create work that might otherwise remain unrealized. The application process requires a budget, indicating that PIC expects a professional and realistic approach to production planning. This is not a development grant but a production fund, aimed at projects that are ready to move into shooting. The curatorial vision of PIC is rooted in cultural specificity and authentic representation. The fund seeks projects that engage with Pacific Islander histories, contemporary issues, and artistic expressions, avoiding reductive or exoticized portrayals. By supporting short films, PIC nurtures emerging talent and provides a platform for stories that can travel to festivals and audiences worldwide.
