To support young filmmakers

Program Services

DescriptionGrantsExpenses
The Tyler Sanders Foundation is dedicated to honoring the memory and spirit of Tyler Sanders by fostering creativity, talent, and growth in aspiring young filmmakers. The Foundation will provide financial support for the education of young filmmakers, helping to illuminate and mentor their journeys from the first frame to the last frame of each film. The organization will provide one or more fellowships to young filmmakers who do not have financial means to make a short film, which is critical for their advancement in the film industry. These fellowships will allow the students to work with local film production organizations to make their films so they can receive mentoring in script refining, pre-production, casting, location scouting, crew selection, production, and post-production. In its first year of operations, the Foundation kicked off the Dear Filmmaker program by educating students on its program and accepting applications for the first short film grant. The Foundation also provided shadowing experiences for young filmmakers, giving them the opportunity to spend a full day on a working film set observing and learning from experienced professionals.$0$10,271
