Help build a new cinematic culture.
Cinema has always had the power to reveal truth, expand empathy, and transform the way we see one another. But that kind of cinema doesn't happen by accident. It requires artists willing to take creative risks, audiences willing to engage deeply, and communities committed to protecting the art form.
Your donation supports seminars, fiscal sponsorship, and programs that champion personally authored work and the people who create it.
Every gift helps ensure that the next generation of filmmakers has the freedom, guidance, and community to make films that matter.

Other ways to contribute:
Supporting I Am Cinema doesn’t only mean making a donation. Building a stronger cinematic culture takes spaces, resources, partnerships, connections, and community.
If you have access to a space that could host an I Am Cinema screening, seminar, conversation, or gathering, we’d love to hear from you. Spaces such as:
theater
screening room
classroom
event space
We’re also eager to connect with nonprofits, arts organizations, film organizations, schools, guilds, community groups, and other like-minded partners whose work intersects with ours. Whether that means collaborating on a program, sharing resources, connecting us with filmmakers or audiences, helping spread the word, or finding entirely new ways to work together, we believe there is tremendous power in organizations supporting one another rather than working in isolation.
You may also have something to offer that we haven’t thought of yet. If you believe in what I Am Cinema is building and see a way you, your organization, or your community could be part of it, reach out to us at info@iamcinema.org.
Let’s build this together.
Support the I Am Cinema Labs Scholarship Fund
We also believe that a filmmaker’s financial circumstances should not prevent them from developing their voice or accessing meaningful artistic mentorship.
You can choose to direct your gift to the I Am Cinema Lab Scholarship Fund, helping provide full or partial scholarships to writers who otherwise may not be able to participate in the program.
Whether you support our overall mission or help a writer take part in the Lab, every contribution helps us build the kind of cinematic culture we want to see in the world.
