Calling all emerging media artists... Visual Communications' Armed with a Camera Fellowship is now accepting applications for all people of Asian Pacific American descent, 30 years old and under. This is a great opportunity for up-and-coming filmmakers who want some training and exposure, with the guidance of a seasoned media arts organization.
Recipients will be awarded $500, access to VC's post- production facilities, and a one-year VC Filmmaker Membership valued at $100. Fellows will use the $500 to complete a five-minute digital video within a seven-month period. Final projects must be shot in digital format, and completed by March 2010.
All completed projects will be showcased at various VC exhibitions across the city of Los Angeles, including the 2010 Los Angeles Asian Pacific Film Festival and other venues nation-wide. VC will co-own the productions and will also package and distribute completed works.
Women, South Asian, and Southeast Asian filmmakers are highly encouraged
to apply to the AWC Fellowship.
This is a really wonderful program, and I know several friends and acquaintances who have gone through the Armed with a Camera Fellowship over the years. For more details and how to apply, visit the Visual Communications website here. The application deadline is July 31, 2009.
