Addie Morfoot Contributor Yeti has launched a $200,000 grant to support emerging documentary filmmakers. The global outdoor brand’s Pretty Wild fellowship will support four directors as they create short docs that give a fresh perspective on the beauty, grandeur, and vulnerability of the outdoors and the people and stories that live there.
Fellows will be offered mentorship, $50,000 unrestricted grants, and guidance throughout the development of their films. Applications for the Fellowship will open on Sept.

The fellowship was developed in partnership with Little Monster Films, the production company founded by Academy Award-winners Elizabeth Chai Vasarhelyi and Jimmy Chin, and the Points North Institute, a nonprofit organization that supports the next generation of nonfiction storytellers. Vasarhelyi and Chin will serve as mentors for the inaugural crop of grant recipients Yeti has produced more than 75 films focused on stories from the wild since launching Yeti Presents in 2015.
Its latest short documentary film, “All That Is Sacred” premiered at the Telluride Film Festival earlier this month.
“Since introducing Yeti Presents in 2015, we’ve worked with a variety of talented filmmakers to tell incredible stories of passionate outdoorsmen and women,” says Paulie Dery, Yeti CMO. “Through the Pretty Wild fellowship, we can highlight new perspectives and support underrepresented, up-and-coming documentary filmmakers through mentorship and peer support.”
The Pretty Wild fellowship is a 10-month initiative that will seek to support both established and emerging filmmakers and will welcome a wide range of creative approaches and styles.
