In response to the lack of opportunities for female, POC, LGBTQ+, physically challenged and neurodiverse filmmakers, we initiated the Filmmaker Diversity Award in 2015 to expose filmmakers from these under-represented populations to the insights offered in our seminar. True Gentleman Industries and its partners sponsor the award. Past participants have gone on to direct major campaigns and sign with production companies.

Filmmakers are judged on the following:

1. Quality of storytelling.
2. Need for exposure to industry, tools & information.
3. Passion for brand stories.

Email me no more than three spots or one short film (5 minutes or less) to jordan@commercialdirectingfilmschool.com today.

Deadline is three weeks before the next seminar. Travel and lodging not included.

Looking to sponsor the Filmmaker Diversity Award? We’d love that.
