The Promise Workshops: Through Our Eyes

Join us in the Ted Mann Theater for a very special FREE screening of short personal films and a panel conversation with the filmmakers of the Promise Workshop cohort of 2024.

Now in our 2nd year, the Promise Workshops continue to bring together the empowering and expressive nature of filmmaking with creative skill development to Los Angeles area emerging adults ages 18–23. Guided by teaching artists, local filmmakers and Academy Members, participants explored various steps and approaches to filmmaking while focusing on developing their personal creative voices connected to identity, representation and community. Check back for more details closer to the program date. Contact us with any questions at: promiseworkshops@oscars.org

The Promise Workshops are made possible by a generous gift from Melina and Eric Esrailian.
Academy Museum education programs are supported by Kathy Fields and Garry Rayant, Miryam and Robert Knutson, The James Irvine Foundation, Chandra Wilson, and Sony Pictures Entertainment.
