The Why.
Our Founder Katelyn is driven by her dual passions for filmmaking and empowering young minds. The inception of Young Cinephiles Club was merely an idea until Katelyn volunteered with CASA-LA, an experience that transformed this concept into a tangible reality. By intertwining production services with Young Cinephiles Club, we are revolutionizing the way kids learn, shifting their roles from interns fetching coffee to aspiring cinematographers, learning from seasoned professionals and earning a paycheck. With a focus on ages 17-21, this initiative paves the way for essential connections that propel their careers forward, while ages 13-17 receive guidance and workshops from mentors, instilling them with direction and the hope for a brighter future.
The How.
As a client, when you choose Slingshot Films, you're not only gaining top-tier production expertise but also making a meaningful difference. With every 10 cents to the dollar from your purchase, you'll be fueling the growth of Young Cinephiles programs, empowering aspiring youth in the entertainment and digital landscapes.
As an investor, your support will have a direct impact on the next generation. By investing in our initiative, you'll provide essential funding for youth salaries on sets, transportation to and from, and the creation of safe spaces for their creative development. Your investment will be a catalyst for change, shaping the future for young talents in the industry.
The dream.
The dream that drives Young Cinephiles Club and Slingshot Films is to establish dynamic studio and school locations in Johannesburg, South Africa, and Compton, California. These purpose-built spaces would serve as the ultimate destination where Slingshot Films can seamlessly create, produce, and deliver exceptional services to clients while simultaneously nurturing and educating Young Cinephiles through hands-on experience and mentorship opportunities. By realizing this vision, we not only provide a safe and supportive environment for these talented youth but also generate economic growth by injecting vitality into local economies and creating employment opportunities that otherwise would not exist.
