By Sully Bautista | Communications Coordinator
Dearest donor,
Thank you for your generous support on this campaign. Justice for My Sister is ecstatic to announce that we have launched the inaugural cohort of the PA Certification Program! Earlier this month, we welcomed 31 filmmakers of color into the JFMS community. Our Fellows are passionate and dedicated to entering the film industry and gaining hands-on production experience to begin their career in this field.
Fellows of the PA Certification Program will partake in an 8-week lecture series followed by job placement opportunities for those who are located in the greater Los Angeles area. The program hopes to fill the gap in behind-the-scenes representation and equip more people of color with the experience to take up space in the industry.
Graduates from Justice for My Sister’s PA Certification Program will go on to obtain crew positions on JFMS-produced content, as well as positions on networks such as WarnerMedia and production companies such as Blumhouse Productions. Some Fellows have even begun their production experience and will be joining Kimberly Bautista, our Founder and Executive Director, as PAs for her newest short film currently in production in Los Angeles.
Without your support, Justice for My Sister would not have been able to launch this one-of-a-kind program and expand our network to 31 new Fellows!
