Why Are We Doing This?

Filmmaking For Good wants to connect with like-minded educators in the field of communications. We partner with educators and organizations looking to teach digital literacy skills to students online and onsite. For instance, if a college classroom has 100 students, they would be broken into 20 groups of 5 students to make a total of 20 videos in the classroom. Each student would pay for individual access to our course i.e. $59.95/student, and all 20 of that classroom’s videos will qualify to win our prize money.

What Is Filmmaking For Good?

Videos tell the story best. Here’s our history, goals, and aspirations in 3 minutes.

Dr. Nancy Richmond // Professor // Florida International University // College of Business: “Filmmaking For Good has greatly increased my capacity to teach digital storytelling to the students in my social media class at Florida International University. Not only do I endorse the curriculum, I feel strongly that students should have the opportunity to develop digital skills while making a difference in their community on social issues that are important to them. Filmmaking for Good is a great tool for teachers, especially if you’re not professionally trained in videography and editing.
