This program supports emerging storytellers breach the initial barriers in funding, equipment, skills, and knowledge while providing a foundation for them to spring into substainable and long term creative practices .
Each fellow receives funds, dedicated mentorship rooted in a long term relationship based process, care and attention to speak with courage and clarity.
Our fellows emerge with confidence, a new found family in a creative film community, and motivation to speak their truth.
The films created in this program transform, enliven, and bring together our local communities. Each screening propels audiences into intimate conversations, reflections, and unity towards generational change. The films are a testament to the culture resistance and visions of our fellows.
FilmSparks reveals the power of storytelling and film to gather, illuminate, and vitalize our underrepresented and underfunded communities.
Applications for the FilmSparks Fellowship will open in Fall of 2024.
