The Arctic Is About To Get Its Biggest Cruise Ship Ever. That’s A Scary Thought.
In recent years more and more tourists have begun popping up along the Northwest Passage. The trip is possible only because the Arctic’s ice is receding, and it is a powerful reminder of how far we have come in a century and a half of industrialization.

It’s Friday, your phone rings and it is your future calling. “Congratulations you have been selected for your dream internship!”Brave New Films

Just as you are excited to accept the offer, you know deep down you cannot afford to take an unpaid internship because you simply don’t have the resources.

So, what do you do? We all know that these days trying to obtain an entry-level job is tough, and it is even tougher when you’re a person of color and/or economically marginalized.

We have created a program that invests in the future. Meet our 2016 Brave New Films Diversity Fellows – Marcos, Kim, Tommie, Jonathan and Seth.

With your help we’re making steps towards opening up the hiring process and increasing diversity in new media. Over 500 people applied for the 5 first year positions and in January we welcomed our first class of 5 Diversity Fellows to the Brave New Films team.

Our paid Diversity Fellowship program employs 5 fellows a year from underrepresented communities, to tell their stories and advance their careers in progressive new media activism and film production. This program is 85% funded for 5 years by Atlantic Philanthropies, but we need your contribution to unlock their match grant.
