Everyone has a story to tell.
Led by the Weston Ideation Lab in partnership with the CSU School of Film & Media Arts and powered by the Burton D. Morgan Foundation grant, Every Film Is A Startup is a hands-on learning opportunity that creates teams of CSU students learning about innovation, entrepreneurship and culminating in a social justice documentary competition. Each team will create a three to five minute proof of concept video and compete for cash prizes and scholarships.
Students will learn about internship opportunities in the film industry; meet dedicated mentors in the fields of film, entrepreneurship and more; enhance their personal "reel" or project portfolio; meet students and alumni transforming their entrepreneurial dreams into reality and network with students from all majors and degree programs.
