Calling all Filmmakers! An opportunity to grow your craft has just been extended, the Focus Finder Application due date has been moved to August 2nd at Midnight! As part of Milwaukee Film’s mission to elevate diverse voices in film, Focus Finder is a storytelling accelerator designed to build a small cohort of emerging local filmmakers from underrepresented communities.

Back in March, our OTV Team ventured out to Milwaukee Film to bring the intersectional tea to the midwest and beyond 🚀 It was a great chance to meet + swap ideas with other great film orgs putting in the good work 💪, catch up with familiar faces 🫂, and of course, watch some good films 😌 Aside from being a great team bonding experience, it was also a great opportunity to take inspiration. Our Intersectional Rating from #OTVTonight was an idea born from the mind of Rasheed Peters and made into reality by Mac Do 😲 ‼️ Stay tuned to this page! We can't wait to show how our other findings and inspirations will take shape at OTV 💗
