ARTISTS RESOURCE DIRECTORY   

 

Our goal is to give the top (2) Writing Teams chosen in May 2020 from the Challenge  access to a wide array of volunteer consultants from our Artists Resource Directory when they self-produce their short films. 

A record number of people are volunteering in the USA, and NYC residents volunteer at an even higher rate -- up to  48% of us do! 

 

But if you work / train in the film and creative industries and have ever-changing schedules, where are your easy-to-plug-into (or reschedule) volunteer opportunities to share your skills and experiences?

ARTISTS RESOURCE DIRECTORY   

Every Artist (from college student to professional level) who signs up on our Directory  makes a volunteer commitment to give a one-time (2) hour consultation to a team of adult beginners, arranged at the Artist's convenience. 

 

In addition, Musicians participating in our Music & Film Project  agree to allow one-time use of original music for the Team's short film soundtrack.

.

We will announce Artists on this page as they sign up.  Our goal is to have at least (3) Artists in each job category.  Then Teams will have a choice of Artists to consult with, and if an Artist is unavailable when requested, there is another Artist to go to. 

.

We have set up a legend (for when we have a lot of Artists signed up!) so you'll be able to quickly search  by category.
