The Big Tell is a regional filmmaking contest offering grants of $5,000 each to 10 filmmakers to produce short documentaries that feature stories of California’s six-county Central San Joaquin Valley. Now in its ninth year, The Big Tell is coordinated by the Community Media Access Collaborative (CMAC), an organization committed to empowering voices in our community to share their stories using media.

Filmmakers have 3 months to create their films, which then premiere together at The Big Tell Showcase.

Filmmakers receive one-on-one mentorship from award-winning filmmaker and past TBT grantee Angelica Hernandez. The Big Tell is presented by the James B. McClatchy Foundation and the Central Valley Community Foundation.
