Popular entertainment is arguably society's most powerful for change. But the lack of accurate representation in mainstream entertainment perpetuates the racial divide. There is no shortage of talented BIPOC creators. The only scarcity is opportunity, funding, and risk taking for them within the Hollywood machine. Rideback Rise is ensuring creators of all backgrounds can tell their stories and see themselves in popular culture, creating a system of change designed to reshape majority opinions. Everybody in. Everybody forward. Everybody up.

Story House Ithaca brings people together to share, study, create, and enjoy stories in all their forms.

Story House Ithaca brings people together around stories. We define “story” very broadly, to include fiction and nonfiction, poetry and song, documentary, journalism, photography, audio, film, theater, puppetry, visual and performance art, graphics, dance, and every other way of communicating ideas and experience. Our definition of “house” is also broad. We hope eventually to settle into our own space, but for now we’re excited to be popping up around the community.

**The Problem**

Our society is going through a period of fracturing, as people of different socioeconomic, cultural, and educational backgrounds divide into ever more insular groups. One reason for this is a lack of opportunities for people to interact in meaningful and non-threatening ways. This has had disastrous consequences in politics, public health, and many other areas.
  
 **Our Approach**

- Story House creates. We dream up, organize, and present workshops, discussions, readings, talks, screenings, exhibitions, performances, participatory projects, and other activities. 
- Story House collaborates. We work with organizations, artists, activists, scholars, and others to plan and present compelling programming. 
- Story House connects. We help creative people and groups find new partners and reach new audiences. 
- Story House empowers. We help members of our community acquire the skills they need to tell the stories they want to tell.

In all our programs and activities, we are committed to creating inclusive spaces that welcome diversity. We strive to foster interactions between people of different cultures, ethnicities, and socioeconomic backgrounds, with the goal of working toward shared understanding and a more equitable, anti-racist society.

Artists' Television Access is an all-volunteer, artist-run, underground and experimental media arts gallery founded in 1984.

Artists’ Television Access is a San Francisco-based, artist-run, non-profit organization that cultivates and promotes culturally-aware, underground media and experimental art. We provide an accessible screening venue and gallery for the presentation of programmed and guest-curated screenings, exhibitions, performances, workshops and events. We believe in fostering a supportive community for the exhibition of innovative art and the exchange of non-conformist ideas.

Artists' Television Access

National human services organization. Our mission is to foster stability and resiliency, and provide a safety net for performing arts and entertainment professionals over their lifespan.

Founded in 1882, we serve all professionals—and not just actors—in film, theater, television, music, opera, radio and dance through programs that address our community's unique and essential needs.

Employment in any division of the performing arts and entertainment industry is unpredictable. Work is erratic, security is fleeting and health insurance is often just a dream. For all of these reasons and many more, The Actors Fund is an indispensable and deeply significant part of the entire entertainment community.

As a national organization with offices in New York, Los Angeles and Chicago, we directly serve thousands of performing arts and entertainment professionals across the country every year, in person and via our online resources. Our programs are wide in scope, responsive in nature and produce significant results.

Indie Short Film Festival lifts diverse voices through films, panels, and youth programs that inspire culture, dialogue, & change.

The **2026 Indie Short Film Festival (ISFF)** returns March 20–22, 2026, bringing an expanded and dynamic program to downtown Charlottesville. Now in its third year, the festival will showcase **100+ short films** from independent filmmakers across the U.S. and abroad, alongside panel discussions, workshops, Brunch Awards, Screenwriting Competition,live music events, and community-centered programming that celebrates storytelling in all its forms.

The festival’s official selections span a wide range of **film blocks**, including **animation, documentary, and live-action short films**, curated around compelling themes that explore personal journeys, social issues, cultural identity, humor, resilience, and imagination. Together, these films reflect the diversity and creative ambition driving today’s independent film landscape.

The festival’s programming takes place in six venues, all conveniently located on the vibrant downtown mall. 

**Panels, Partnerships, and Conversations that Matter**

A cornerstone of ISFF 2026 is its robust lineup of **panel discussions** featuring filmmakers, industry professionals, scholars, and creatives. Topics include **Animation**, **Artificial Intelligence in Film**, **Distribution**, **Screenwriting**, **Women in Film**, **The Black Experience in American Cinema**, and more.

New for 2026 is a **premier partnership with the Festival of the Book**, debuting the panel **“Words on Pages to the Screen,”** which explores how novels and literary works are adapted into films. This timely collaboration bridges literature and cinema, offering audiences a deeper look at the creative and practical process of adaptation.

Also new for the festival, the Indie short Film Festival has partnered with the **School of Visual Arts New York** presenting an animation film block loaded with 14 outstanding animated films. 

**New Initiative**

**The Youth Internship Pathway Program** (YIPP) provides closer look for local youths into the world of opportunities the film industry offers in terms of careers. Often young people look at the "movie business" as something you can only dream about or be very lucky to achieve, as they are mesmerized by the stardom of the people in front of the camera. But have no idea of the people who actually make it all happen. The crafts of being a Gaffer, Grib, Assistant Camera Operator, Camera Operator, Director of Photography, Set Designer, and many other positions are not known to the average person watching a film. YIPP connects the intern with a visiting filmmaker with a film in the festival to shadow them part of the weekend with a formal sit down lunch, the intern attending panel discussions and the film screening of the paired filmmaker, and later providing the festival with a report of their learning,

**Launch Party, Competitions, and Workshops**

The festival kicks off with a high-energy Launch Party featuring the popular band SHAGWÜF, starring Sally Rose, with music by DJ Dutchie. The event brings filmmakers, artists, and the community together to celebrate the start of the weekend in true ISFF style.

ISFF 2026 also features a **Screenwriting Competition**, culminating in a live **Table Read Event**, where selected screenplays are performed before an audience—highlighting emerging voices and the craft of storytelling at its earliest stage.

For filmmakers and creatives looking to sharpen their skills, the festival will host a **Cinematography Workshop**, offering practical insights into visual storytelling, camera techniques, and creative decision-making behind the lens.

**Celebrating Excellence**

The weekend concludes with the **Sunday Brunch Awards** **and screenings**, honoring outstanding films, performances, and creative achievements across multiple categories. The awards ceremony provides a celebratory close to a weekend dedicated to independent voices and cinematic excellence.

The **2026 Indie Short Film Festival** continues its mission to serve as a platform for diverse storytelling, education, and meaningful dialogue—connecting filmmakers and audiences through film, conversation, and community.

**Tickets, passes, and full schedule information will be announced soon.**

Your Move envisions a world where people recognize that following Jesus will make their lives better & the world a better place. 

Your Move Collective aims to intersect culture with the teaching of Jesus by placing helpful content and practical next steps where people are and where they expect it least.

Based on a research-backed understanding of the Religiously Unaffiliated population, Your Move Collective orchestrates digital journeys designed to guide individuals from apathy to becoming resolute seekers of Jesus.

For over a decade, Your Move with Andy Stanley--a TV program containing practical, Christ-centered content--aired on NBC after Saturday Night Live and CBS after The Late Late Show and currently airs, on TBN and UPtv, in television markets nationwide.  In 2022, over 80 million messages were accessed via our broadcast purchases.  Another 10 million messages were accessed through other online digital placements.  But viewership has never been our end goal.

Our goal is engagement.

Not simply engagement with us.  Ultimately, our goal is for religiously unaffiliated people to engage with a local church.  Not a small task to say the least.  But one we are committed to nonetheless.  And thanks to generous donations and support, we are making progress.

Women Of Color Unite

Educational media that ignites curiosity and long-term thinking through science, culture, and ideas shaping our shared future.

**Our Mission**
Accelerator Media ignites fearless curiosity and bold, forward-looking perspectives on humanity’s future through transformative storytelling. Guided by this perspective, we create compelling media that explores human potential, fosters global connection, and inspires a shared vision for the future we can build together.

**Our Vision**
We imagine a future where curiosity unites us, exploration broadens our understanding, and long-term thinking shapes a collective path of discovery, connection, and possibility.

**Why Accelerator Media?**
In today’s media landscape, content is often designed to provoke quick reactions, amplify division, and reward short-term attention. This constant cycle of distraction is eroding our ability to think critically, reflect deeply, and engage with the complex issues shaping our shared future. There is a growing need for media that encourages curiosity, imagination, and long-term thinking—especially in an increasingly divided world.

Accelerator Media exists to meet this need. We produce thoughtful, curiosity-driven content that invites reflection over reaction and exploration over blame. Through our growing portfolio of original podcasts, we bring together leading voices in science, technology, and the humanities from around the world—fostering global dialogue, and inspiring audiences of all ages to think more deeply about our shared future. With support, we can expand our reach, elevate production quality, and make meaningful media more accessible to those seeking substance and connection in an increasingly fragmented world.

**Our Work**
Accelerator Media is building a dynamic portfolio of media initiatives designed to inform, inspire, and empower curious minds to become world-changers. Our core projects include:

●      [**Curiosity Entangled**](https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLAmp64147-7jBCBttxtlQ1HeE2Nf2pVc6)[ ](https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLAmp64147-7jBCBttxtlQ1HeE2Nf2pVc6)– *A* unique, non-hosted podcast bringing together visionaries from different disciplines for conversations driven by mutual curiosity. At the heart of our work, *Curiosity Entangled* exemplifies our mission by weaving interdisciplinary insights into a tapestry of discovery. These dialogues reveal unexpected connections, spark fresh ideas, and offer bold answers to humanity’s toughest questions.

●      [**Ignition Sequence**](https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLAmp64147-7gQX6xSAT9wArswbB7Gdjen) – A video podcast exploring the big ideas shaping science, technology, culture, and the humanities, and how they shape the future.

●      [**Go! For Launch**](https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLAmp64147-7iU0d0Wxa145AioTck3xPf1) – A podcast guiding young adults toward meaningful STEM careers, blending inspiration with practical insights from global experts and educators.

●      **Future Documentary Projects** – High-quality documentaries and cinematic explorations—around the world and beyond—that take deep dives into pressing questions about humanity’s future, including a planned docuseries evolving from *Curiosity Entangled*.

**Our Impact**
Accelerator Media launched its flagship podcasts, Ignition Sequence and Go! For Launch, to immediate success, garnering over 670,000 YouTube views and 1,500 subscribers in just the first ten weeks, demonstrating significant public interest. This rapid growth, driven entirely by volunteer efforts, validates the demand for content that explores profound questions and career paths in science, technology, and culture, and signals our potential for even greater impact as we expand.

**Primary Platforms**
Currently, Accelerator Media distributes content primarily through YouTube and leading podcast platforms like Spotify, Apple Podcasts, and Google Podcasts. Our ambitious growth strategy includes future collaborations and distribution through major platforms such as PBS, Netflix, or Amazon Prime, especially for our documentary-focused project, Curiosity Entangled.

**The Need for Support**
At Accelerator Media, **we believe that knowledge drives the future**—shaping the ideas, innovations, and collective vision that will define humanity’s path forward. To produce this transformative content at scale, we need the financial resources to grow our team, enhance production quality, and expand our reach.

To date, all of our work has been accomplished by a dedicated volunteer team operating with minimal funding. This early momentum is a testament to the strength of our mission and the public demand for thoughtful, future-focused media. Now, to meet that demand and ensure long-term impact, we must transition from a volunteer-led effort to a fully supported organization with the capacity to grow.

With a fundraising goal of $1.5M, we aim to:

●      **Staff**: Hire producers, an education manager, and a marketing specialist to sustain and amplify our work.

●      **Operations**: Fund legal, accounting, and administrative essentials for stability and compliance.

●      **Production**: Boost quality for podcasts and documentaries, crafting stories that captivate and educate.

●      **Reach**: Expand globally through partnerships, digital platforms, and new media channels.

●      **Community**: Nurture a network of lifelong learners with evolving content, live events, and interactive forums.

**Why Your Support Matters**
Imagine a world where everyone embraces a century’s-thinking mindset and sees a path to shape tomorrow. A world where curiosity brings us together, exploration cuts through the noise of division and discovery unlocks the full potential of humanity.

That’s the future we’re building—with your support.

We invite you to ignite curiosity and inspire a future shaped by exploration and long-term vision. Your support empowers educational media that sparks curiosity, encourages critical thinking, and explores what’s possible for our shared future.

**Together, let’s spark the curiosity that shapes tomorrow.**

We empower refugees by helping them reclaim access to education, develop modern media skills, and pursue professional employment.

At ReFOCUS Media Labs, our mission is to empower asylum seekers and refugees by equipping them with modern media skills to overcome the challenges they face, such as limited access to education, language barriers, financial constraints, mental health support, skills training and job placement. 

US-BASED DONATIONS ARE 100% TAX DEDUCTIBLE

Through our three Media Labs (Lesvos, Athens, Krakow) workshops and original content productions on location (Amsterdam, Berlin, Athens, Krakow) we provide comprehensive education in photography, filmmaking, audio engineering, and graphic design. Moreover, we actively collaborate with our students in the production of impactful dramatic films and documentaries.

Established in 2017 in Lesvos, Greece as a pilot project when we supported the residents of the infamous Moria refugee camp. in 2019 we officially registered ReFOCUS Media Labs as a foundation in Poland, and started formalizing our work. In 2022 we expanded our efforts by adding new media labs in Athens (GR) and Krakow (PL).  Athens was established to support refugees who struggled to secure access to education and job placement in the Greek system, and Krakow was created to support the massive influx of Ukrainian refugees who fled to Poland after the full-scale Russian invasion. Our work throughout our global network of media creation labs demonstrates our commitment to empowering our community members, and ensuring they have a seat at the table in determining our present and future direction. 

Our mission is to transform lives through education, career training, and psychosocial support, and ultimately sustainable employment. 

In Greece, we primarily work with minors and young adults, who are either stuck in the asylum system or struggling to integrate after receiving minimal asylum protection.  In Poland, our focus groups are women and young adults who fled the war, and now put down roots in Poland.  A key highlight of our training is the creation of professional portfolios, an essential tool that enables our beneficiaries to effectively showcase themselves to potential employers. This part of our program is particularly important as many refugees arriving in Europe have faced educational disparities due to conflict, poverty or discrimination in their home countries. Even those who have a university degree often struggle to be recognized in Europe as education systems in their home countries often fail to meet EU standards. As a result, many higher education graduates are forced to adapt and accept employment well below their skill and education level. In most cases this leads to exploitation on the European labor market.

Our programming aims to break the cycle of disadvantage that refugees and asylum seekers encounter in the labor market. By providing a platform for our students to showcase their original work, share their stories, and employ them as teachers, lab coordinators and co-creators we empower them to become skilled professionals within the global media industry. But our work goes beyond the technical training by providing foundational support and safe spaces for people with refugee backgrounds to be accepted and flourish. Put simply, we treat the whole human being. 

Since our establishment in 2017, we have successfully certified hundreds of media students, produced feature films and music videos; internationally published original photography and graphic design, and collaborated with mainstream media partners on investigative reportage.

We've been featured in National Geographic, collaborated on investigative reports with Forensic Architecture, Human Rights Watch, BBC Newsnight, Aljazeera, the Guardian, and BBC Panorama, and also produce our own original podcast "Fractured", which focuses upon refugee issues and human rights violations in Europe and around the world.

What sets ReFOCUS apart is our dedication to mentoring students beyond the traditional classroom setting. We actively collaborate with our students to create compelling films and documentaries based on their own scripts and concepts. Since 2019 ReFOCUS has produced several films directed, filmed and edited by our students and alumni including  “Even After Death”, “Nothing About Us Without Us”, “Dancing Bells”, “Dead End”, Interview" and "Erantzun", all of which were written and directed by community members. 

“Stitches” - our latest film is currently in post production and will premiere in March 2024 at Movies that Matter Film Festival. Our films and work has been internationally recognised and showcased at prestigious film festivals worldwide, including the Human Rights Film Festival Berlin (DE), Movies that Matter Film Festival (Hague, NL), CPH:DOX (Copenhagen, DK), Melbourne International Film Festival (AU), Rotterdam International Film Festival (NL), IDFA (Amsterdam, NL), New Delhi International Film Festival (India), the World International Film Festival (Amsterdam, NL), and the (in)Justice Film Festival (Chicago, US) and many more. 

In recent years we have expanded to reach larger audiences and provide even more community members with employment and pathways to develop their own careers as freelance media creators. We also take a local approach to ensure the settled communities we work with have foundational support. A great example of this local approach is our Art Under Pressure Arts Festival, which was inaugurated in Athens, Greece (May 2023). The festival provided a platform for artists from Athens, both from within our community and the greater cultural community, to showcase their music, art, performance, design, photography, films and critical reportage on issues the community faces. In 2024 the festival will travel throughout Europe and North America in an effort to activate new local communities of artist who can learn from one another and create together. 

At the heart of our organization is a fundamental belief that individuals can make a difference in the issues they see in the world. Our extensive experience in the field working on the front line of the "refugee crisis" in Europe proves that civil actions can have a massive impact in the lives of people at risk, especially when media and governments claim otherwise. These challenges are not intractable, rather they are opportunities for us to think creatively, and work collectively to ensure we build the societies we know are possible. 

And so we remain committed to helping people with real lives in crisis develop the real skills needed to pursue the real futures they envision. No matter how many times the fast news frames people in need as "takers" and "burdens", we are proving every day that it is possible to cultivate givers who enhance and power our society into the future.

We partner with young people living with HIV, refugees, youth who are in - and out-of-school, and those living with disabilities. We also work closely with men as users, advocates, and satisfied users of family planning. We recognize their critical influence on reproductive health decisions within families and communities.

A cornerstone of our impact is our national network of **836+ trained peer educators**, who lead community mobilization and SRHR information sharing and significantly increase service uptake. Their efforts are supported by interpersonal communication agents who promote male involvement in family planning, including informed uptake of vasectomy.

Our digital communications hub, **SautiPlus**, amplifies RAHU’s work by creating and disseminating youth-friendly SRHR content to millions of young people and the adults who influence them—parents, teachers, cultural leaders, policymakers, and more.

The Representation Project is the leading gender watchdog organization.

**We are here to change the world.**

No matter who you are or where you live, harmful and limiting gender stereotypes hurt all of us, women, men, and people of all genders. Through film, education, and activism, The Representation Project exposes the cost of these stereotypes and invites everyone to build a more equitable future rooted in healthy identities, shared responsibility, and collective liberation.

Founded in 2011 by filmmaker and activist Jennifer Siebel Newsom, The Representation Project uses storytelling to shift culture and spark change. Her groundbreaking film *Miss Representation* ignited a national conversation about sexism and the underrepresentation of women and girls in media. Her second documentary, *The Mask You Live In*, brought urgently needed attention to the crisis of unhealthy masculinity, revealing how rigid expectations placed on boys and men fuel emotional suppression, violence, substance abuse, and isolation, while also harming women and communities. The film calls men and boys into healthy masculinity and active allyship, showing that gender equity benefits everyone.

Jennifer’s later films, *The Great American Lie* (2019) and *Fair Play* (2022), further examine inequality in the American Dream and the division of care and domestic labor, reinforcing the interconnected nature of gender justice, economic fairness, and well-being.

Together, these films challenging harmful gender narratives have been viewed nearly 30 million times, and our educational curricula have reached over 2 million students. Our work affirms what Siebel Newsom has long known: storytelling opens hearts and minds like nothing else, shifting attitudes and behaviors. This is culture transformation at its most powerful — creating a world where people of all genders can show up fully and thrive.

Why It’s Urgent

Gender stereotypes are a public health crisis. Two-thirds of young women experience disordered eating, and one in three girls has seriously considered suicide. At the same time, boys and young men who internalize rigid ideas about masculinity are significantly more likely to experience depression, suicidal ideation, substance abuse, and to perpetrate violence or harassment.

These outcomes are not inevitable; they are learned. By challenging harmful messages and promoting **healthy masculinities, emotional literacy, and allyship**, we can change the trajectory for young people and communities.

How We Do It

- We raise awareness through films viewed over 30 million times worldwide.
- We educate students through curricula that have reached more than 2.4 million young people.
- We amplify impact through national hashtag campaigns (including #AskHerMore, #NotBuyingIt, #EndRape, #RespectHerGame, and #BoysWillBeBoys) that reach over 600 million people.

Together, we are bending the long arc of history toward intersectional gender justice, engaging women, men, and gender-diverse people as partners in change. This is a person-by-person and community-powered movement.

Please join us. We need you!

The Representation Project

A catalyst for creative freedom and cultural vitality across the Arab world.

As the largest fund for independent artists and cultural institutions in the Arab world, AFAC serves the collective necessity to pursue bold ideas, reclaim space, and share stories from our region on our own terms.

Culture shapes how we see ourselves, how we remember the past, and how we imagine the future. Independent voices are being silenced by war, repression, and economic collapse. Youth, who represent the region’s largest demographic, are largely excluded from cultural production and denied platforms to shape their futures. The threat of talent drain and cultural fragmentation has never been higher.

Since 2007, we have supported over 2,400 projects across 22 countries and their diasporas, awarding over $40 million in grants. Our model sustains not only the production of art but the long-term resilience of the cultural ecosystem. 

AFAC stands at the forefront of expression—investing in independent storytellers, visionaries, and institutions who challenge convention, spark dialogue, and preserve the richness of our collective narratives. We must act now to preserve cultural sovereignty and ensure that artists continue to imagine, question, and build the future of the region.

Our support spans cinema, music, literature, performance and visual arts, documentary photography, research, and critical training, reaching emerging talents and established voices, from the heart of the region to the edges of the diaspora. 

AFAC is more than a funder. We are a platform for connection, advocacy, and continuity. Through open calls, mentorship, strategic partnerships, and direct support to institutions, we create ecosystems, for the region and by the region, that allow independent culture to thrive.

At a time when global attention often overlooks the nuance of Arab realities, AFAC helps ensure that our stories—rooted in diversity, contradiction, and creative force—are not just told, but heard, remembered, and felt. We invite you to imagine a world where every voice can create, connect, and contribute to the cultural future of the region.

**With your support, AFAC can:**

- Sustain and expand critical funding for artists and institutions
- Launch bold new programs in underserved geographies
- Build a long-term ecosystem for Arab cultural philanthropy
