Unmatched wins Impact Grant from Oregon Film

Unmatched: The Team That Changed the Beautiful Game has been awarded a $15,000 Impact Grant from Oregon Film.

Designed to support film projects that will make a positive impact on Oregon’s film industry, this grant aims to help grow Oregon’s film scene, create local job opportunities, and bring people together through stories that celebrate Oregon’s culture, history, and landscape.

Unmatched: The Team That Changed the Beautiful Game is an upcoming feature documentary about the 2005 University of Portland women’s soccer team and its lasting legacy and impact. It’s about greatness on the field, changemakers off the field, and a city that supports women’s soccer unlike anywhere else in the world.

“In its first year the quality and the amount of submissions was incredible and a testament to the depth of talent living and working in Oregon,” read Oregon Film’s announcement.

A total of $85,000 was awarded with selected projects receiving grant funds of $10,000 to $20,000 to help move their projects into production and, eventually, to an audience.
