The DSF gave me the confidence to pursue my dreams. I never thought I would be on real film sets and working with professionals while still a student in high-school. But, I have and the training I received will stay with me for life.

Program Benefits
Productions tell us the reward of helping train the next generation of filmmakers is priceless. When our participants first lay eyes on the sets they work on, the amazement, joy and possibilities cannot be contained. We offer both our particpants and the productions they work on, a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to witness and harness raw, unfiltered talent. Particpants walk away from each experience focused and more ready to create and tell their stories on screen.
