Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.

My Project

Imagine a future where talented, diverse, and young film crews from Williamsburg, Brooklyn, are at the forefront of the entertainment industry. Your donation will directly support our beginning acting and production class, providing students from the diverse Williamsburg community, including Black, Latino, and other underrepresented communities, with the essential tools and resources they need to succeed. By contributing, you’ll help us equip these aspiring artists with a camera and green screen that will enable them to learn, experiment, and create their films, as well as recreate their favorite scenes from television shows and movies. Our goal is to nurture their raw talent and inspire a new generation of Brooklyn-based actors and filmmakers who reflect the vibrant diversity of the community. These students are special because of their passion, dedication, and unique perspectives that can bring fresh and authentic storytelling to the screen.
