THE ROBIN FILM GRANT One selected project will receive $1,000 toward music licensing.
Applications open April 1, 2026
Deadline May 15, 2026
Helping filmmakers discover music earlier in the creative process
Finding the right music for a film often happens late, under time pressure, and with limited library options.
Robin was built to change that.
Robin allows filmmakers, editors, and supervisors to search for music using natural language, sonic similarity, lyrics, and creative prompts. Instead of digging through endless playlists or temp tracks, filmmakers can discover music — by real artists, labels, and publishers — that actually fits their scenes.
The Robin Film Grant invites filmmakers to explore music for their projects. As part of the application, filmmakers build a shortlist of tracks that could work in their film.
One selected project will receive $1,000 toward licensing music discovered through Robin.
Step 1. Submit your project ~5 minutes
Tell us a few details about your film including the title, production stage, and a short description.
Step 2. Discover music with Robin ~30-60 minutes
