To Our Donors

  Clients often ask how they can donate or help with our mission. For that enthusiasm, we sincerely thank you! We have now made it as easy as ever to donate to our program by clicking the link below. These contributions will directly support sponsoring students ($2,400 per student), staffing teachers, servicing equipment, developing new curriculum, and outfitting additional classroom space.

*If you'd like to donate empty classroom space that would also be a great help in helping us to expand and be able to pour more funds into the program instead of overhead costs. We're looking for a place that's secure, relatively quiet, and in a nurturing environment for adults and minors.

  Our Mission Statement is “To train, build, prepare, and support the underrepresented through film and media training.” Opening in 2020, the Los Angeles Film Kitchen is a direct offshoot of our nonprofit called The Media Aid Center. Since 1996 we have trained over 3,000 youth, adults, and organization leaders internationally. The Media Aid Center also built mini TV facilities at schools and provided in-class accredited training throughout LAUSD and beyond. After teaching young people for over 20 years, we decided it was time to focus on adults. That's when the Los Angeles Film Kitchen was born! In an effort to remain accessible to the community we serve we charge 1/10th of the cost of a traditional University & keep classes small. When you support the LA Film Kitchen you're supporting 1 of the few black owned film schools in the United States.
