Mission

Our mission is to provide education, training and activities for participants in the cultural arts, particularly in film. The communities we service are open and diverse. We see films as a versatile art form which can uniquely engage an audience. They are a form of expression that can elicit innovative thinking, relate important messages, evoke emotions, bring focus to an issue, as well as educate an audience. Films can potentially reach billions of individuals. We help grow the filmmaking community by providing free beneficial resources.

What are the organization's current programs, how do they measure success, and who do the programs serve?

Filmmaker Workshops

Our workshops are hosted by peers in the film industry. From lighting, to audio, to acting, to set design, and more; we engage anyone willing to learn more about the arts and crafts of filmmaking.

Our programs are open to all; regardless of age, race, sexual orientation, religion, or socio-economic status.

We create video archive copies of our educational workshops when possible and distribute these via the internet so that anyone wishing to learn more has access.

Film is a collaborative art form that allows people to join together to bring a story to life. We encourage this type of communal engagement which enhances creativity, freedom of expression, and story telling; as well as evoke long-lasting emotional connections with a particular subject for viewers to connect with.

Balance sheet

Fiscal Year: Jan 01 - Dec 31

SOURCE: IRS Form 990 info

The balance sheet gives a snapshot of the financial health of an organization at a particular point in time. An organization's total assets should generally exceed its total liabilities, or it cannot survive long, but the types of assets and liabilities must also be considered. For instance, an organization's current assets (cash, receivables, securities, etc.) should be sufficient to cover its current liabilities (payables, deferred revenue, current year loan, and note payments). Otherwise, the organization may face solvency problems. On the other hand, an organization whose cash and equivalents greatly exceed its current liabilities might not be putting its money to best use.
