Our first grant is $15,000 — awarded to a filmmaker to make a short film.

I spent 3 days creating a map of every filmmaker in tech, my findings shocked me

there are <30 filmmakers producing work, 0 professional writers, and 1 feature film in development

the storytelling capacity for tech to create narrative film on itself is non-existent
