Help Our Cause

The Michael Zinzun Film & Journalistic School (MZFJS) is a 12-week educational program for aspiring filmmakers and journalists from underserved communities. This initiative will provide students hands-on experience in film production, storytelling, and investigative journalism while highlighting community resilience and recovery efforts.

The program will culminate in a student-produced film documenting the recovery and rebuilding efforts of Altadena residents following the Eaton Wildfires. Students will gain real-world experience while preserving important community narratives. The initiative also fosters creativity, critical thinking, and career readiness in film and journalism.
