Esperanza, in collaboration with L.A. Grit Media and the Echo Park Film Center, will launch a creative impact academy that fosters educational skills training for diverse youth filmmakers in Los Angeles. Youth participants will engage with industry professionals in learning the art of movie-making at 10 workshops, wherein they may borrow film equipment to build skills in cinematography, animation, editing and more. The students will then be given the opportunity to showcase their films and gain employment experience at film festival events.
