Reel Works Fellows
MASTER THE CRAFT OF FILMMAKING!
Reel Works Fellows is a free intensive training program for talented young artists to specialize in a filmmaking discipline, and build a portfolio for college and career success.
Fellows choose one craft: Screenwriting, Directing, Producing, Cinematography, Sound or Editing. They are then paired with a professional mentor to deepen their practice while collaborating to create original short films.
Fellows experience paid media work experiences in their craft of choice, job shadowing and master classes with leading craftspeople. Graduates leave with a reel, a resume and a professional network to launch their careers.
