Welcome to Inner-City Filmmakers

Inner-City Filmmakers - Educates, Empowers and Employs.
We are a year-round Arts Education, Career Development, and Jobs Placement institution, which reaches hundreds of educators and thousands of students throughout Los Angeles County.

Inner-City Filmmakers provides free year-round high quality hands-on training and job placement services for diverse disadvantaged youth, ages 17-22, who are high school graduates. Youth accepted into Inner-City Filmmakers gain artistic, technical, business, and life skills, which successfully prepares them for college, real-life, and entry-level jobs behind-the-scenes in the entertainment industry, where they aspire to build careers but have little access, thus we help reshape their lives and change their futures.

Established in 1993, Inner-City Filmmakers (ICF) is a non-profit 501(c)3 organization with a successful track record and long-lasting partnerships in education, the private sector, and throughout the entertainment industry. We are dedicated to empowering and creating lasting positive change in the lives of diverse disadvantaged youth because we believe that everyone deserves an opportunity to reach their fullest potential.

Inner-City Filmmakers accepts and counts on support from several different resources, including cash donations.

To make an immediate impact, you can donate right here, right now:

Donate as much, or as little, as you choose...and as often - know that all is appreciated!

"I've waited 2 years to be in ICF and all my expectations were met...and a galaxy more. ICF is "The Force" and it's here with all of us."
Antoine Bandele, Class of 2008
