“It wasn’t until I took a film workshop at TWN that I actually believed that I could make a film.”
“Technique for us is secondary. The people themselves have a rich life experience, a knowledge of history and their culture and community organization. And these people are far more qualified to make films than people who have learned their skills in a school."
“I learned to shoot and edit on video, but the most important thing I learned was how to collaborate with people on the stories that mattered to us.”
“TWN Production Program serves as a gateway for emerging makers to move forward – several have managed with their workshop film projects to then enter the elite film schools, others have gone straight into the field, including colleagues that I work with in the industry now.”

“I always felt supported by the facilitators Chrystian Rodriguez, Danny Kim and JT Takagi. They helped me develop my proposal further and taught me the technical aspects to bring it to life.”
“The strength and value of TWN’s production program continues to impact other filmmakers like me, in finding community, mentorship, resources, and education in filmmaking.”
