Pre-Professional Education & Mentoring

Latino Film Institute – Youth Cinema Project

The Youth Cinema Project (YCP) integrates filmmaking with 21st-century learning skills. The program works in the classrooms of public schools that predominantly serve low-income communities. YCP uses a hands-on approach that integrates social emotional learning and English Language Arts to provide an equitable and accessible learning experience for our students. Across one full academic year, two filmmaking professionals implement a rigorous standards-based filmmaking curriculum within 4th––12th grade classrooms. The students complete short films from concept to screen, in a 100% student-led environment.

Golden Globe Foundation funds will be used to create opportunities for YCP Alumni, strengthening the pipeline towards higher education and careers in the motion picture industry.
