BEHIND THE SCENES PRODUCTION SKILLS

LIFE SKILLS & WORKFORCE PREPARATION

LIFE SKILLS & WORKFORCE PREPARATION

Camera Operators, Joshua (L) and Jamal (R) share a laugh during a behind-the-scenes assignment.



S.M.P. Rise apprentices are the crew capturing this milestone moment; gaining skills that prepare them to take on future professional opportunities documenting Q&As, film festivals, and other productions where behind-the-scenes content is needed.


At S.M.P. RISE, we are always seeking ways to open doors and create meaningful learning opportunities. Our learn-and-earn model ensures that while apprentices gain hands-on experience, they also receive a stipend, because education should not come at the cost of financial hardship. These experiences empower apprentices to realize that they can do this work on their own, constantly raising the bar as they enter the freelance world of production.


To make this possible, we are raising funds to cover the costs of creating this opportunity. Your support helps us continue to identify and build pathways for apprentices to grow into the skilled, paid professionals that film festivals, studios, and production companies need.


Support Our Apprentices

Thank you for helping us invest in the future of storytelling and those who bring stories to life. (and to our devices)
