Support the Future of Film Fund!

Are you passionate about nurturing the next generation of storytellers?

We believe everyone should have access to high-quality education in film and media arts, regardless of financial barriers. The Future of Film Fund is dedicated to making this vision a reality.

Why Your Support Matters

Arts education goes beyond just teaching techniques; it's about fostering creativity, critical thinking, and emotional well-being. Studies show that arts education can significantly boost academic performance, confidence, and mental health. Unfortunately, many people face significant barriers to accessing these benefits.

Who We Serve

Adults: For adults aged 17 and up, the Future of Film Fund offers tuition-free access to a wide range of classes and a complimentary membership to our studio and workspace program. This includes access to a fully equipped computer lab, creative software, and top-of-the-line equipment. Our program is designed to support Austin residents and those in the surrounding areas, offering personalized guidance through one-on-one meetings. Whether you're looking to upskill, change careers, or enhance your professional knowledge, we provide the tools and support to help you succeed in a dynamic job market.

Youth: Our youth edition of the Future of Film Fund targets 6th-12th graders, providing a week-long summer camp experience that immerses young creatives in filmmaking, creative media, music production, and analog filmmaking. This program is open to youth aged 10-18, especially those facing barriers to arts education. By engaging in these activities, students not only develop new skills but also improve their academic performance, boost their confidence, and cultivate critical thinking abilities. This program helps keep students engaged, reduces dropout rates, and prepares them for future success.
