BRAVE NEW FELLOWS PROGRAM
Brave New Films
INFO: The Brave New Fellows Program offers social justice advocates from communities of color and/or economically marginalized communities a one year, paid opportunity to work with Brave New Films and learn how to create and distribute media that makes a difference. By working alongside experienced staff, fellows build practical skills in digital storytelling, production, post-production, campaign strategies, outreach, and social media.
Fellows spend the majority of the year in one of three areas: outreach, post-production, or social media. In the last two months they rotate through the other two areas. The fellowship equips activists to use film to support activism, and prepares them for jobs in social justice advocacy, media, and filmmaking.
To complement the on-the-job learning, fellows also meet and network with film directors, activists, journalists, politicians and organizers, and they receive training in camera operation, database management, fundraising, and more.
AWARD: $800/week for the duration of the fellowship, medical and dental insurance, and holidays/hiatus pay.
Fellows work full time (M-F, 9:00-6:00) in our Culver City, CA office.
For non US residents, they will assist with visa/immigration processing and can compensate a portion of travel. However, relocation/housing is not provided by Brave New Films.
DEADLINE: August 4, 2017
