Projects That Need Your Support
Option 1: Native Filmmakers Training
Give the most qualified people, Native people, the opportunity to tell their own stories. Help Native voices build a community of Native American creators and participants who engage the arts and connect across generations.
Training will increase the skills of emerging and mid-career Native filmmakers, in both creative and business aspects of filmmaking, and provide opportunities for Native filmmakers to network, learn from each other and develop skills to become self-sustainable. Give Native Filmmakers a Voice
Option 2: Vision Maker Media Film Festival
Our last film festival showcased 21 Indigenous films, hosted five Q&A events, developed an 11-member local planning committee, presented 12 Indigenous filmmakers, actors/talents and hosted the world premiere of Medicine Woman the one-hour PBS documentary.
Giving from now until May 18, your donation qualifies for local matching funds by the Lincoln Community Foundation as part of Give to Lincoln Day.
Help us make the 2018 Vision Maker Film Festival a success!
