DOC NYC is excited to announce a $100,000 fund for short films that will make its debut in the 2026 season. To be known as The Louies, and named after Louis Wolfson, a pioneer in television and media, the fund will award three U.S.-based producers with short documentaries in various stages of production, toward completion and release in 2026. Details and an open call for applications will be made public in late spring 2026 – please bookmark this page and check back then!
The Louies will be proudly presented by DOC NYC and sponsored by the Lynn & Louis Wolfson II Family Foundation.
