| TWN August News: Film Production Workshop & Film Grants!
Congrats to Tracie Hervy, Lehna Huie, Willow Joffee, Vienna Maglio, Zahida Pirani & Laura Vargas for completing TWN's Film Production Workshop!
The TWN Production Workshop continues its long tradition of providing an unique "hands-on" training program that offers practical skills and resources for emerging filmmakers. This intensive 4-month program supports and trains people from communities that historically have had limited economic resources and access to mainstream educational institutions or training programs. By providing the basic technical and storytelling tools to create fiction or documentary projects, the Production Workshop carries on the mission of TWN by promoting independent cinema made for and by underserved communities of color and their progressive allies.
