We are dreaming big, no doubt. But we believe great things are in the works and just waiting on us to get moving.

Imagine a place where anyone can learn to write, act, shoot, or produce film or theater. Imagine having access to a fully-equipped sound stage in your local community. Imagine a recording studio staffed with producers and engineers with decades of experience producing music legends. Imagine motion picture directors, cinematographers, and VFX supervisors teaching you and your children how to work in the industry while staying true to who you are.

Imagine what you could do to help. Now stop imagining and join us. Please consider a one-time donation or a monthly donation.
