Our vision as we lay the foundation for WSO:

    • To start new film industries, populated by indigenous stories.
    • To discover new visual storytelling styles.
    • To develop community and education efforts in the arts.
    • To train faculty who will implement film programs in local communities.

How we hope to accomplish this:

    • Creating adaptable curricula that can be geared toward local cultures.
    • Hosting week or month-long workshops.
    • Building 1-year film programs with film/arts commissions.
    • Building 1-year film programs.

    • Partnership with film commissions, local universities, other NGOs.

Who is our target?

    • Countries with developing film industries.
