The program, Futures We Dream, is seeking 10 creative students ages 18 and up currently living in Alameda County looking to explore storytelling and media arts as a career.

In this Fellowship, students will participate in a media production intensive covering scriptwriting and storyboarding, collaboration, production, and post-production and will create their own 1-2 minute short personal videos, and longer 5-6 minute team videos on the theme of Futures We Dream, inspired by the Smithsonian FUTURES exhibition. The program includes meeting with local and national filmmakers featured in the FUTURES exhibit. Participants will also be eligible for the Bay Area Pre-Apprenticeship Program for Multimedia Producers.

Fellowship members will receive an hourly stipend for their active participation during classes, as well as work time outside of class.
