Cinema Ed

Founded in 2014, Cinema Ed is a 501(c)3 non-profit film and media organization that focuses on using independent film as a teaching tool for under-represented students. Our programs include hands-on filmmaking classes for secondary schools that connect professional filmmakers with teachers and students. Although we place special emphasis on at-risk populations, we work with all students to harness the storytelling power of today’s technologies and engage in filmmaking techniques and methods. Cinema Ed is run by Chief Operating Officer DEBORAH DAVIS FORD, Executive Director RICHARD STEPHEN BELL and Support Manager NINA-SIMONE CRAWFORD. Cinema Ed is also working to create a pipeline for young filmmakers to find jobs in the film and tv industry as we celebrate the unique vision and authentic stories told by today’s young filmmakers.
