If you’re a professional filmmaker or film student and want to submit a proposal for your own Grandma film, please click here to be added to our contact list. We expect to launch a new call for filmmakers in 2023 and will get back to you then. Selected filmmakers have to follow three simple rules:
filming their own grandma
showing one recipe
in a 8 minute film
not a filmmaker? no worries!
We’re welcoming contributions from anyone. Send us one photo of your grandma and a short text about her or simply use the hashtag #grandmasproject on Facebook, Twitter or Instagram.
