We believe the most powerful stories come from those brave enough to think different.

We equip, mentor, and support teens to help them tell powerful, identity‑rooted stories.

SPONSOR

Joining as a mentor or student?

Start in Open Hours, our free online community and the front door to everything we do. Anyone can jump into Open Hours: weekly livestreams, acesses our resource map, pop-up Q&As, and filmmakers trading feedback. College students can join a three-month internship, and film pros can mentor with as much or as little time as they have.

For me what I feel is very important for that voice you get, is the way that you can actually use that to give voices to people who are not given the opportunity to be in a space like this – it’s about sharing that voice, especially for younger people.

Volunteer

The program itself it’s just like the word, pretty undescribable because I think it’s so fresh and everyone brings something original to the team and to the experience.

Student

I think with Ineffable it’s really important that we build those connections and community that we can all feel like we can express ourselves freely. I think that’s very important with teens getting into the film industry because they need that support.
