10 Day Dreams  - Summer Camp Scholarship Opportunities

MISSION:
  • The 10 Day Dreams Initiative is designed to help close the achievement gap in the film industry for all minority and female filmmakers. 
  • The Directors Guild of America published a report about the number of directors in Hollywood.  Just 6.4% were women and just 12.5% were minority.
  • UCLA and USC have both published in-depth reports citing the inequalities in the film industry.​
  • The non-profit Arts Equality, Inc. is designed to fund and support the 10 Day Film Challenge and all of its programs.

Thanks to our educational partners and the non-profit Arts Equality, the 10 Day Film Challenge is offering summer filmmaking camp scholarships to our female and minority filmmaking students, who are currently participating in this year's Challenge, to help fulfill our 10 Day Dreams mission.
