And we’re off!! The ACS Filmmaking Lab for Teen Girls has begun! 12 incredible dreamers from 11 schools - we’re building an army of female filmmakers here in Central Arkansas - watch out!
Thank you to JM Associates and The Women’s Foundation of Arkansas - Girls of Promise Initiative for making our dreams come true!
At the ACS, we believe that if we provide filmmakers an arena to exhibit their talents, and film enthusiasts a healthy diet of quality programming, we can inspire more Arkansans to make and watch more films. By supporting filmmakers, festivals, theaters and young people interested in filmmaking throughout the state, we hope to create statewide network, pool Arkansas’s resources and be an umbrella organization that feeds all things film. We believe a rising tide lifts all boats.
To be a filmmaker, we have to connect to create. A painter needs a brush, paint and a canvas. A director needs a writer, a cinematographer, a sound mixer, production designer, editor, actors, distributors, and an audience. We cannot do it alone. This art form forces one to collaborate and thus, creates jobs. Filmmaking is unique in the arts in this way. It takes an army.
The Arkansas Cinema Society’s work and mission would not be possible without the support of our patrons and sponsors. Thank you for believing in the power of film to transform our community.
