ABOUT
Co-founded by Alice Wong and Shaina Ghuraya, this Collective aims to provide material as well as professional development support for BIPOC disabled filmmakers.
Some of our efforts include providing no-strings attached filmmaking grants, creating a newsletter of opportunities, access to trainings and equipment, and free ‘masterclass’ sessions by BIPOC disabled filmmakers teaching skills and sharing their experiences.
