Mentorship Program
Student Filmmakers Preferred
Outreach and User-Generated Content Mentorship Program for a National Storytelling Initiative: Student Filmmakers Preferred

We are looking for aspiring filmmakers around the country to capture stories of how the unique gifts and talents of people in your communities contribute to a greater whole.

In exchange for mentoring and a stipend, student filmmakers will learn and collaborate individually and with teams on a national storytelling initiative that shines a light on people who embody American ideals through everyday actions — actions that may not make headlines, but definitely make a difference. These stories will be told through a comprehensive collection of thousands of video and photographic portraits of those who contribute. This one-to-three-month program will be run through award-winning production company RadicalMedia.

Student filmmakers will be tasked with finding and researching a total of five unique stories per month contracted related to topics of community, contribution, stepping up and giving back. You will be guiding and helping participants share their stories in a visually compelling way.

Students will be responsible for finding participants nationwide whose stories are aligned with this production and getting appropriate releases signed, and they will be required to be on top of all digital communication and production deadlines.

The stipend is $250 for a minimum of five stories to start, with $50 per story beyond that, pending approval.

Note:

  • This is not meant to be a full-time commitment; stories can be found on your own time around the other projects/schooling you are working on, with one weekly, virtual check-in meeting.
  • This project is intentionally apolitical. We’re seeking stories that transcend politics of any kind. Resources, training and check-in will be provided to ensure student filmmakers walk away with insight into documentary and journalism-style storytelling, research, strategic outreach, user generated content and production.
