NEXT FRAME | ENTREPRENEURSHIP
A 2-Week Immersive Summer Film & AI Experience for Future Storytellers (Ages 13–17).
This Cinematic Intelligence Initiative is a hands-on filmmaking and artificial intelligence program designed to empower underserved and low-income youth to become creators, not just consumers, of digital media.
This immersive experience walks students through the entire filmmaking process, from story development to final red-carpet screening, while integrating ethical AI use, production leadership, and real-world creative skills.
Instead of passively consuming thousands of hours of content, students learn how stories are built, how images shape emotion, and how technology can amplify creativity responsibly. This program teaches storytelling, digital literacy, leadership, and entrepreneurship equipping young people with workforce-ready skills for the digital age.
This program is built for youth who are:
✔ Creative but lack access to professional-level tools and mentorship
✔ Interested in film, media, content creation, or digital storytelling
✔ Curious about AI and emerging technologies
✔ Looking to build confidence and leadership skills
✔ Exploring future college or creative career pathways
✔ Ready to create something real — not just learn theory
✔ Seeking exposure to entrepreneurship and ownership in today’s digital economy
This is not just a film class.
It is creative workforce development.
