Outdoor experiences should be for everyone

At Eddie Bauer, we believe that outdoor experiences should be for everyone – regardless of race, class, ethnicity, sexual orientation, gender identity and expression, religion, mental and physical ability or age. In acknowledgement that outdoor spaces are not always a welcoming place for all, it’s our mission to bring the benefits of the outdoors to all communities, particularly those who have been underrepresented.

To further amplify the voices, stories, and experiences of underrepresented communities in the outdoors, we’re excited to continue the Eddie Bauer One Outside Film Grant program.

For the second year in a row, we’re awarding up to six $10,000 film grants to, help fund the creation of outdoor films made by filmmakers from underrepresented groups.
 

Up to six $10,000 film grants for outdoor filmmakers

For our 2022 Eddie Bauer One Outside Film Grant we’ll be awarding film grants to filmmakers who identify as part of LGBTQIA+ (lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer/questioning, intersex, and asexual/agender) communities.

In addition to financial support and promotion of the films across Eddie Bauer channels, we aim to partner with filmmakers to tell stories that help all people feel invited, accepted, and validated in their full range of outdoor experiences.

Meet Our 2022 Filmmakers

Our film grant committee had the difficult task of narrowing down the entries to just six projects and we’re proud to introduce our finalists to you now.

Our film grant committee

An advisory panel made up of community leaders within the outdoor industry with diverse backgrounds in the arts, storytelling, and the outdoors, will join a small group of Eddie Bauer leadership to review film grant submissions.
