It feels like yesterday that I was living in an apartment with 7 roommates to keep rent low, surviving on Top Ramen & 99cent bean & cheese burritos, saving my $ from shooting wedding videos, all so I could afford to direct my short films. For any of you directors out there who are at that point in your journey, this is for you. Looking forward to checking out your submissions & making a movie together. Here’s the info: The second season of Rising Voices, an initiative intended to uncover and invest in BIPOC stories about the meaning of work, begins now! The program will provide 10 short films with mentorship, support, and a $100K production budget each. Applications are now open. Check out the link in @indeedworks bio to learn more and apply. #RisingVoices #WeHelpPeopleGetJobs #HillmanGradproductions #Ventureland #271Films @indeedworks @hillmangradproductions @venture.land @271films @msmelina @calmatic @justinchon @destindaniel @raykazehtabchi
