Manifestworks:
Our 12-week program consists of hands-on classes with working professionals in film and television who teach participants about every facet of the business — and then share freelance opportunities with those proving ready for work. The life skills and connections we impart lead directly to living-wage jobs and provide the scaffolding for long-term career advancement for people who have lived most of their lives without opportunity.
