Where we bridge the gap of healing to professionalism through film!
Our mission is to cultivate personal and professional growth by enhancing work that represents the articulated personification of therapeutic Art and to bolster careers in the film industry through networking, education, and resourcing opportunities of employment.
The Arts are not just about entertainment and the appreciation of artistic works. It's a celebration of our expression through adversity and the freedom of creativity, which to many of us does not come easy. Your donations help others learn how to heal through artistic articulation and provide a platform from which they can flourish.
Students learn firsthand about what professional positions in the film industry consist of.
Students learn about the type of equipment used in production, how to use them, screenwriting, storyboarding, casting, location scouting, and how to run a set.
Students take all they learned and apply it to create their own short film, with the assistance of CFNS instructors. Their resulting films are screened at Freedom Festival International Film Festival, which is held at Spotlight Cinemas Capital 8 in Columbia, SC.
Students (Age Range 9 - 18) learned how to conceptualize, storyboard, and produce their own short film in three days. Enjoy their work entitled "You Can't IgNoras."
Students (Age Range 7 - 18) learned how to conceptualize, storyboard, and produce their own short film in three days. Enjoy their work entitled "Duhtention."
Students (Age Range 14 - 18) of Fairfield Central High School learn how to conceptualize, storyboard, and produce their own short film in five days. Enjoy their work entitled "Rush."

"I have witnessed first-hand the Carolina Film Network’s great work, and I look forward to seeing what the future brings. CFN is an important partner to the South Carolina Film Commission as we all work to bolster and grow the state’s film industry."
"CFN plays a vital role as a partner with Spotlight Cinemas, because it introduces new independent content into our community rather than just the big studios, and we are happy to be a part of such a great community that wants to develop the film industry in the Carolinas."
