Hollywood CA (PRWEB) December 19 2003-- Today the top ten finalists have been announced for the world’s most prestigious and widely known film and writing grants. The Roy W. Dean grants are given to filmmakers and writers with the intent of making films which are ”unique and make a contribution to society”.

The Roy W. Dean grant’s beginning was over 25 years ago when Mr. Dean privately began making generous contributions to struggling filmmakers in need of funds to finish their films. Now, known by filmmakers worldwide, the grant has had hundreds of competitors vying for the prestigious ‘top spot’ on the podium of crowning glory and the prestige that accompanies being a past Roy W. Dean film grant recipient. “This always stays with you throughout you’re career as a filmmaker” says Jocelyn Glatzer, one of the grant’s latest winner of over $50,000 in goods and services. “It’s like winning the Oscar of film grant awards” agrees her partner Christine Courtney.
