Filmmakers For Tomorrow Foundation (FFTF)

Our Mission
Filmmakers for Tomorrow Foundation (FFTF) is a Washington, DC based (501c3) non-profit organization that provides young aspiring filmmakers with educational and financial resources. FFTF's mission is to encourage and support diverse artistic and cinematic expression of American life among young filmmakers. Through our grant program and youth-oriented projects, FFTF is developing the next generation of local filmmakers ages 16-25. FFTF also seeks to establish a network of artists, professionals, and educators as mentors to young filmmakers to help sharpen their artistic talents.

FFTF is committed to providing local public high school, college and university film students with access to funding, equipment, education, and training. FFTF also develops and supports youth-led film projects that reflect America's diversity and that of the Washington, DC metro community.

FFTF's 2009 Summer Film Project "Broken Records"

FFTF has completed the filming of Broken Records, which is now in post-production. Last summer our 2009 Young Aspiring Filmmaker, Jonathan K.W. Chen worked with FFTF's team of industry advisors, educators, and other young aspiring filmmakers, actors, artists and musicians to direct and film “Broken Records.” Click on our 2009 Featured Filmmaker link to learn more about this year’s YAF selection and to see photos from the film.

Broken Records was written by American University student, Nick Shupper, who is the winner of our 2009 Screenplay Competition. Once completed, Broken Records will be submitted to a host of local and national film festivals to bring recognition to our young aspiring filmmakers.
