Connecting hearts and communities through free micro-short film programs located at venues easily accessible on foot or by public transportation.
Our stories help us see ourselves in each other.
We want folks of all abilities, ages, ethnicities, genders, sexual identities, and income levels to feel empowered to self represent through video and film starting small.
Our annual Spark Micro-Short Film Festival focuses on films 5 minutes and under because they cost less to produce and anyone with a video enabled device and some encouragement can share their stories and vision with the world.

Amplifying Diverse Storytelling & Expanding Cultural Awareness.
Self representation is key to dismantling stereotypes perpetuated by lack of representation. We value the voices of creators of all ages, bilities, ethnicities, genders, sexual orientations and income levels and we bring their work.
Our film screenings are free to the public and located at venues easily accessible by foot or public transit so that anyone can join in and get inspired. Programs like the Haudenosaunee Micro-Short Film Program honor the voices, values, and traditions of mis-represented and marginalized creators by following their lead and compensating them for their participation.
