Inner-City Filmmakers (ICF), established in 1993, is a beacon of hope for diverse disadvantaged youth, ages 17-23, who are high school graduates from throughout Los Angeles County.
Our Mission: to provide free year-round artistic, technical, business and life-skills training, with award-winning industry professionals as instructors and mentors and to match these youth to entry-level jobs behind-the-scenes in the entertainment industry, which they aspire to but have little access, thus reshaping their lives and changing their futures.
With the generous ongoing support of the GGF, Inner-City Filmmakers’ youth build skills, access, connections, jobs and careers. Today, 100% of our alumni are college graduates and 75% are working in the industry. They are members of many craft guilds including the DGA, Local 600, Local 892, MPEG, PGA, and WGA. They are Oscar® Nominees and Emmy Award Winners, as well as business owners, business managers and Executive Producer of Avengers: Infinity War and Avengers: Endgame... and more.
