veteran filmmaker fellowship
The VETERAN FILMMAKER FELLOWSHIP (VFF) is a 501c3 non-profit organization founded by veterans
to provide a therapeutic and creative outlet to affected veterans,
to open pathways to tv and film industry careers for veterans, and to
educate, inspire, and empower America's veterans
to share their unique stories and perspectives
through the collaborative arts of screenwriting and film.
The Inaugural VFF Program (still under development) is anticipated to run remotely from Sept - Dec 2022 and will provide a series of free lectures and discussions on filmmaking and screenwriting.
These weekly lectures will cover both the fundamentals of screenwriting
and a survey of the collaborative roles of filmmaking.
The VFF Program will provide a supportive environment under which VFF participants can begin to formulate and outline a
feature-length screenplay of their own.
VFF participants will also gain a fundamental understanding of the various collaborative functions necessary to bring a script to screen, and the career paths available to veterans in the film and tv industries.
Future versions of the program would progress to a completed feature-length script and, eventually, to a hands-on filmmaking course where participants write, direct, produce, and edit short films of their own.
*** The VFF Program is a cursory, introductory, program not intended for Veterans who have already received a formal or informal introduction
to the fundamentals of filmmaking or screenwriting.
The VFF Program Curriculum will consist of:
-- A fundamental education in the art and craft of screenwriting,
from ideation and premise, to plot structure, character development,
scene development, dialogue, etc.
-- A survey of the essential and collaborative roles of filmmaking, including, but not limited to, writing, development, pre-production,
directing, cinematography, line producing, sound,
set design, editing, and post-production.
