“OTHER PROGRAM SERVICES 4: OTHER OTHER PROGRAM SERVICES 5: Voices With Impact: Art With Impact partnered with the Mental Health Services Oversight and Accountability Commission (MHSOAC) the California Institute of Contemporary Arts (CICA), and the McQueen Family Foundation to launch Voices With Impact in 2018-19. We designed a year-long program that would identify top emerging filmmakers, ready to tell the stories that arent being heard, and provide them with the support they need to create original short films about underrepresented mental health issues. In this first year of running the Voices With Impact program, nearly 100 filmmakers submitted proposals to create short films about mental health in Indigenous and Native American communities, or the mental health impacts of sexual violence. A dedicated group of judges, comprised of mental health professionals, professional filmmakers, sexual violence subject matter experts, and Indigenous community representatives and researchers, reviewed the proposals and identified the five filmmakers in each category with the strongest proposals. The 10 filmmakers selected by the judges each received $5,000 production grants to support the creation of their short films. In the following three months, they to wrote, cast, filmed, edited, finished, and delivered beautiful, impactful, five-minute films. In June 2019 AWI hosted an event in Los Angeles to premiere 10 films. The evening of celebration featured local musicians and spoken word performances in the themes of Indigenous mental health, and mental health and sexual violence, and was emceed by our own Natalie Patterson. The premiere was attended by 130 people, celebrating the voices of these incredible emerging filmmakers”
