I shot a film and I want to get a grant to edit it and market it. Is this possible? Where can I find information on what free money options are available for entrepreneurs?

There are essentially only 3 sources for grants.
Federal grants are called Small Business Innovation Research grants. These are given primarily for some new innovation. You can find out what's available at http://www.sbirworld.com.
There is also info on this site about how to apply.
Some cities offer grants to small businesses if they will locate in the downtown area, for the purposes of building up downtown traffic. Check with City Hall.
Finally, private foundations offer grants. You can get a list of most US Foundations and private grant sources at http://www.foundations.org/grantmakers.html.

Not to discourage you mate, but I have asked the question some time ago if anybody knows if anyone ever got a grant and everyone was negative about it.
Various reasons why. From blaming the Government to ridiculous paperwork.
Put the info you want in Google. I have found their search engine more reliable and effective when dealing with specific matters.
Best of luck!
