POV

ave an entry point to the industry. We offer three programs:

1) The Filmmaking Program

2) The Internship Program

3) The Alumni Working Group

The Filmmaking Program expose young adults, to all aspects of filmmaking. Over 20 weeks, professional mentors lead workshops, helping the students to collectively produce a film. By the end of the program, students have learned the technical, business and social skills needed for entry-level positions in many departments in film and media, and have an inkling of where their interest is best applied. As the last step of the Filmmaking Program, students who have demonstrated their commitment and professionalism are eligible to apply to our unpaid Internship Program. These internships allow our students to get a foothold in the industry, to gain experience and cultivate relationships on their own merit. The Alumni Working Group allows all graduates of our Filmmaking Program to develop their own projects with the support of their peers and the POV network. Like the Filmmaking Program, The Alumni Working Group uses professional mentors to guide the development of the group's productions, but from a far more removed position. It is a program that transitions our alumni from students to working filmmakers.
