College Interns
High School Interns
We partner with high schools and nonprofits such as After School Matters, to provide teenagers paid internships and real world experience. An addition to art development and technical training, we also focus on strengthening their communication, collaboration and leader skills; helping to guide the next generation.
Educational Programming
Our award-wining filmmaking programs set up high school students for success by offering them opportunities to produce their own documentary films; submitting them to film festivals for competition. We continue our Socioeconomic impact efforts by partnering with organizations to offer year-round classes to the community; starting with Chicago's youth. We offer a variety of programs throughout the year and provide access to professional equipment, movie screenings, networking opportunities, major film studios and top-tier camera houses. Check out our recent projects to learn more about our dedication to supporting and fostering the next generation of storytellers.
