The DIY First Time Filmmakers initiative supports emerging directors and artists creating their first independent works made by an individual or a collective, and curating collective showcases as part of our AEW Ecology. AEW Ecology’s mission is to develop the artistic growth of emerging and first time filmmakers and artists.
This program emphasizes networking while creators and participants have total freedom to independently curate, develop and present their works created entirely with their own resources in the spirit of "Do It Yourself."
This year, we are proud to introduce first-time director Susan Liu who will lead the DIY Directors Lab, showcasing her debut short film, Street Haul, directed and produced by Liu with help from her friends. This hour-long, collective program will also be curated and showcased by Liu, followed by a networking event.
