QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS

What makes isfilms different?

IS Films Inc. provides educational support and training to facilitate the development of student film and media production, talent and skills, and offers production and funding support to local and student film and video producers.

Current conditions in Massachusetts and New England demonstrate a clear need for expanded support of student media arts education and project development. Media arts programs in public and private high schools are limited or nonexistent. College VMA students and early-stage independent media producers face rising equipment and facility rental costs. In addition, fees for non-profit fiscal sponsorship of media projects are also increasing, up to 60 percent of collected donations, further limiting the capacity for project development. With major film production facilities planned for Southeastern Massachusetts and the projected growth of the media industry overall, opportunities for VMA education, training and project development are necessary to meet industry workforce needs. No local nonprofit in the Boston area currently offers this set of services.

IS Films Inc. was created to address the lack of educational and funding support for people interested in pursuing media arts study and employment. The Company will bolster education for local college VMA students by offering direct funding for independent projects and low-cost fiscal sponsorship of projects, capping fees at 5 percent. Through workshops and production internships, high school students will receive training from college VMA students as well as valuable on-set experience. The Company will develop and conduct an innovative portfolio development program for high school students to help strengthen their applications to college VMA programs. The Company will also explore future strategic alliances with private and public sector entities to pursue additional targeted training initiatives to meet the workforce needs of the film production facilities as well as the community.
