Words from Alma

My days with Tribeca were very insightful. Before hand, I had this specific look towards film. I always felt like narratives were all people would ever like to do. I felt as if working on big film sets was everyone's dream. At Tribeca, I met a bunch of other kids who were into filmmaking but had different dreams and plans. Lots of the kids there were interested in making documentaries. Some would like to work out of Hollywood. Not everyone had my exact same vision of going to film school either. Everyone was different. Being a Film Fellow thought me that there are many different approaches to jumping into the film world--being a director or a writer isn't the only thing available. They showed us paths we could take. It's just up to us, now, to make the moves in any of those directions. All my life, I've been looking for opportunities to learn about the industry. Wonderful programs like this really give all kinds of people the chance to take a step towards their dreams. Thanks to Lisa, Aisling, and Ananiki!
