Something more hands-on… We want to remain connected with the our community and provide support in the best way we know how. The MJR Film Grant is our effort to try and put those sentiments into practice. We want to help you realize your project and we understand the level of commitment it takes to keep pushing the analogue medium. So, in addition to supplying $500 worth of film, we want to start a conversation. This is where the information/drinks evening, portfolio reviews and the winner’s event come into play – it’s all an opportunity for us to get to know you and for you to get to know the wider photographic community. Shooting film takes commitment – a commitment we at MJR understand and appreciate. That is why we want to help you realize your project. Not another faceless competition where JPGs fly through the air and winners are announced in helvetica, MJR is actually proposing that we meet. Connect and converse.

After so much transition and change, it's nice to see the slightest swing of the pendulum back towards craft, tradition, and human connection.
