About Bronze Charm

The power of film can inspire, challenge, and change the world. Our mission is to add to a transforming film industry by ensuring aspiring POC filmmakers—who find themselves in low-income communities, creatively underserved communities, and frustrative systems—have the resources, knowledge, and platform to explore new narratives, and bring their stories to life.

 The Bronze Charm Program is a non-profit incubation program that focuses on taking aspiring middle eastern and hispanic filmmakers from the script writing and development phase to the distribution phase of filmmaking.

With a team of professionals, selected attendees will be guided through a weekly, 6 month program where they will learn the fundamentals of storytelling, but most importantly, how to navigate the intricate and overlooked portions of film such as pitching, marketing, and distribution strategy at no cost.

The Steps

  • 1: Script

    Those selected will be provided with guidance and resources to develop their film ideas into fully-realized scripts.

    You will be enrolled in workshops and mentorship opportunities with experienced screenwriters to help refine their storytelling skills.

    Additionally, these workshops will encourage collaboration and feedback among other selected participants to strengthen their scripts and enhance the creative process.

  • 2: Pre-production

    Participants will learn the fundamentals of pre-production, and be guided through casting, location scouting, budgeting, and scheduling.

    Industry professionals will be assigned as mentors to guide participants through the pre-production process and offer practical advice.

    Workshops and exercises will be scheduled to help participants develop production plans, shot lists, storyboards, and other essential documents.

  • 3: Production

    We will provide participants with access to professional equipment, facilities, and resources needed for filming via a combination of in-house equipment and rentals.

    Experienced mentors and instructors will oversee the production process and offer guidance on set.

    Participants will collaborate together on each production so they can refine their skills and problem-solve creatively while adhering to the production schedule and budget.

  • 4: Post-production

    We will walk participants through the basics of editing, sound design, visual effects, and color grading using industry-standard software.

    Workshops and one-on-one sessions with experienced editors will be scheduled to help participants refine their editing skills and bring their vision to life.

    We will provide access to editing suites, sound studios, and other post-production facilities to facilitate the editing process.

  • 5: Distribution

    We will educate participants on the various distribution channels available for independent filmmakers, including film festivals, online platforms, and theatrical release.

    Participants will be guided in creating marketing materials, such as trailers, posters, and press kits, and pitch decks to promote their films effectively.

    We will facilitate opportunities for participants to showcase their work at film festivals, screenings, and other industry events to gain exposure and recognition.
