Film2Future Information

Film2Future creates equitable opportunities to underserved, low-income, diverse youth aged 14-18, through our professional level art education classes, creating a direct pipeline to successful placements for our students in college, paid internships and job placements. The four-year curriculum includes professional-level programs in narrative filmmaking, animation, emerging technologies and advertising. During the program, F2F brings in over 100 entertainment professionals — from above the line to below the line to agents, managers and producers — to speak to our class. Students then pitch, write, film and edit their own shorts while building their portfolios for college and/or jobs within the industry. This program is completely free for each student and we provide transportation, food, and computer equipment to ensure that all of our students have zero barriers to entry. Students also learn life skills such as resume building, how to interview, financial literacy, how to create a portfolio and how to navigate the entertainment industry. Graduates of our program are then placed in paid internships and production assistant roles including on tv shows such as Glow, Vida, Brooklyn 99 and Mayans MC. Since 2016, our students have earned 45 paid internships and 6 students have earned full rides to four year universities such as USC, University of Chicago and Syracuse. F2F levels Hollywood's inequitable playing field by providing professional arts programming to underserved students that strive to enter the Hollywood workforce. To get involved: www.film2future.org
