“It’s not an insignificant amount and it’s going to make a big difference for Media City especially during this trying time we’re going through,” said Oona Mosna, Media City’s program director.
“We’re incredibly honoured and super excited obviously about this because it’s huge news.”
Media City applied for the grant, the first time it had done so.
“The academy’s first priority remains to help those in our film community most impacted by the current global crisis,” Academy governor and education and outreach committee chair Nancy Utley said in a news release.
