Waterwell Doubles Grant Funding for Diaspora Artists in Film, TV, and Theater

The nonprofit production venture Waterwell, co-founded by "Succession" actor Arian Moayed, has significantly increased its support for artists from the Iranian diaspora. In its second cycle, the Unseen Iran Grants program has doubled its total funding to $100,000.

This enhanced funding will enable the program to support ten artists working across various creative fields, including film, television, and theater. The grants are specifically aimed at empowering storytellers who represent the Iranian diaspora, providing them with crucial resources to bring their projects to life. The initiative underscores a commitment to amplifying diverse voices and narratives within the creative industries.
