Funding from the Golden Globe Foundation empowers Outlast to uplift the next generation of Native filmmakers. With GGF support, Outlast will continue offering college tours of prestigious film departments in Los Angeles, exposing Native youth to pathways in the film and entertainment industries through higher education. This week, Outlast have led student tours of University of California, Los Angeles, University of Southern California, and Sony Pictures Studios!
Outlast Arts and Education is a non-profit organization whose mission is to increase equity, diversity, and inclusion in the arts by equipping Indigenous and Black youth with contemporary multimedia skills and education. Located on Pine Ridge Reservation in southwest South Dakota, Outlast creates a safe space where young people can create and tell their own stories in a way that accurately and genuinely reflects their experiences and world views.
The organization’s name, Outlast, is meant to provoke the confidence and determination it takes to overcome and grow from circumstances that are often out of our control. When the students enroll in Film Camp, they’re given skills that empower them to tell their stories, while also nurturing their creativity and confidence – tools that will help them navigate life.
