Meet Your Filmmaker
Meet Your Filmmaker (MYF) is a unique service designed to empower young filmmakers by providing them with professional mentorship on real client projects. Participants will gain hands-on experience in collaborating with clients to bring their vision to life while creating and editing impactful promotional videos for local charities and community groups.
The young filmmakers in the program are paid as they train and learn. They have access to professional equipment in a secure setting, allowing them to hone their skills with the support of mentors who assist them throughout the process.
