Minority status regarding artistic grants: A rather serious question
OK, I kind of need serious advice about a problem I am having. (please do not troll, I need real opinions)
For years I have been trying to get funding to do a web series/movie.
I have had zero luck trying to get funding for it.
A family member suggested that in my pitch I mention that I am Apache, because "I would be more likely to get funding because of my status as a minority."
I never did this. But recently I have been kind of down about what I am doing with my life. I have not been able to raise a cent for the web series I want to do. On top of that I lost a shitload of pc gear in a flood we had in Pittsburgh recently. So, I have been kind of desperate to raise some funds to the point I sold off my movie collection just to keep my blog up.
So just for the hell of it, in a grant proposal I mentioned I was Apache. And I was offered the money I need to make my series. This is the same grant proposal I have made a million times. But that little name "Apache" seemed to sell it.
I want to make this series. Being a filmmaker has been all I wanted since I was 15.
But getting the money just because I'm a minority... that does not sit well with me.
I'm not sure what to do. Advice anyone?
