Our Filmmaking Training
A nonprofit foundation dedicated to forming healthy filmmakers, not just producing films. We provide mentorship-based education, hands-on filmmaking experience, and real-world training that helps filmmakers create their first feature film while building a sustainable career without sacrificing family, faith, character, or craftsmanship.
As a nonprofit, we rely on generous donors to cover our costs, support our instructors, produce educational content, and keep the lights on.

About FAFF
Our Foundation
A Better Way to Make Films—and a Better Way to Live
The entertainment industry doesn’t just need better films.
It needs “better” filmmakers.
At Film and Family Foundation, we believe great films are made by healthy artists—artists who are grounded in purpose, strengthened by community, and supported by family rather than separated from it.
We exist to restore mentorship, craftsmanship, and character to the world of filmmaking. Through hands-on education and real-world experience, we help filmmakers create their first feature film while building a sustainable career—without sacrificing their values or the people they love most.
Because when artists are inspired, their art is inspiring.
And when artists are whole, stories can once again point us toward what’s true, good, and beautiful.
