What We Do?
Our work provides training to emerging filmmakers so they can champion the transformation of the industry based on anti-violence practices and the use of the arts as a tool to heal.

Technical skills:
We provide comprehensive training on storytelling tenets, cinematography, production, and editing skills. Our goal is to provide tangible skills so they can feel confident and succeed in the industry.

Our programs provide leadership development opportunities where students can heal in a safe space. Community building, setting boundaries, critical thinking, working in teams, and developing confidence in their voice.
Job Accessibility:
With the help of our partners and Board Members, we are able to provide a pipeline to connect our graduates with employers and mentors who help to set their careers in motion.
