ABOUT THE RISE CLASS

The RISE Class is a 9-week crash program in film and video production created to give the most underserved people like special needs groups, refugees, at-risk women and youth, and many more, in this community an opportunity to find their voice and be seen.

It is aimed at empowering underrepresented members of our community, who for different
reasons are unable to commit to full-time studies, with the skills to build a career,
freelance, or entrepreneurial pathways in the Media & Broadcasting Field.

The maxim of the program is “Write, Shoot & Edit” video content with simple tools. The goal is to produce a 30-minute film, written, shot, and edited by participants of the program.
