film school. It’s great for casual film enthusiasts who want to upgrade their knowledge and for seasoned pros
looking for a monthly meetup and opportunity to discuss films and the filmmaking process. Each month the
group reads a book related to a topic on filmmaking (for example, a book about David Lynch) and then will meet
up to watch a film related to the topics covered in the book (for example, Blue Velvet).

youth, Sidewalk grants select individuals (ages 13-24) free weekend passes to The Sidewalk/SHOUT Film
Festival. They attend three days of film screenings and panel discussions based on film and the film industry,
experience the festival culture, and network directly professionals from the film industry alongside their peers.
Sidewalk’s commitment to LGBTQ representation in programming allows program participants to see themselves
reflected on screen. Area program directors, educators, and service providers are invited to recommend eligible
grantees to the program.

and competition. The Scramble will allow local filmmakers to try their hand at making a short film in a ridiculously
narrow window of time. Each team will receive a prop and a mystery sub-genre the night of the scramble kick-off.
They will have to write, direct, and edit a short film within 48 hours. Then, all the submissions will be screened at
a special event hosted by Sidewalk. The winners of the Jury Award and the Audience Award get to screen at the
