Events

The Rising Voices program hosts events throughout the year to promote the talented filmmakers in the program, and to show the world that talent is universal, but opportunity is not. Please see featured events below.

Rising Voices films at Hollyshorts

All 10 season 4 films were official selections at Hollyshorts 2024.

Stay tuned for footage of Hollyshorts' Rising Voices panel moderated by Sandro Monetti.

Season 2 Turn the Camera

If only it were as simple as lights, camera, action! It takes a village to bring your favorite films to life but we often only see the people in front of the camera. In our Turn the Camera series, we’ll be shining the spotlight on the people behind the scenes who play a critical role in making movie magic. You’ll get an inside peek at what it’s like having a job in one of the most exciting and competitive workplaces in the world from a few of the over 450 people who were hired for our Rising Voices Season 2 films.

Join our host Stacy Pascal Gaspard, a Rising Voices Season 1 filmmaker, as we turn the camera to meet the people who helped our filmmakers share their stories with the world. Your backstage pass to Hollywood is waiting.
