COMMUNITY BUILDERS THRU FILM ALLIANCE
Welcoming Adults Of All Ages & Older Teens
GOAL: To Use The Study Of Films And Filmmaking
To Bridge Different Skill Levels, Artistic Crafts, Communities & Generations

We're recruiting panelists from all skill levels—students, emerging filmmakers, and union professionals. They'll share their journeys, how they got started, where to learn, special techniques and fun tips, and what careers in their field are really like. Plus, they'll reveal how creative Hair and Make-Up can transform characters, set moods, and bring stories to life on film—on any budget.

Forums Are FREE, With a $5 Suggested Donation

Next ‘Careers In Film’ Panel:
‘SOUND, Recording & Editing’ -- September DTA

We’re holding the Careers Panels in a public area of the 7th St Market, which opens onto the 7th St Train Station platform, making events convenient by public transportation. The Market’s merchants offer delicious food and beverages so when the forums end there’s the opportunity to continue dialogues with new acquaintances in a social environment.

Why Are We Trying To Build An Alliance ?

-
Working people rarely get opportunities to explore beyond their everyday worlds or focus on self-development in in-person welcoming group experiences.
-
Different generations remain isolated within peer groups—yet all ages think clearer, feel less self-conscious, and are more open when engaging in mixed age discussion groups.
People Naturally Share Their Stories And ?s When They Study
StoryTelling In Its Most Complex And Creative Form —

THE INSPIRATION FOR THE ALLIANCE
Trayce Gardner, founder of One Black Woman StoryTelling Services, produced intergenerational Careers In Film Panels and Screening Series in NYC when she ran the non-profit Brooklyn Young Filmmakers. Joining her effort in Charlotte to find out if there’s community interest in promoting similar events are her collaborators on the ‘Make A Film’ Class Series, A1 Day1 Productions
