Imagine you live in Afghanistan, Haiti, Myanmar or Sudan and you want to raise awareness about the issues you are facing. In these troubled places people are still motivated to use documentary filmmaking to educate and affect change.

Community Supported Film is contacted by people in places like these who want to learn and produce. The instability of their situations, the limited resources and intermittent internet require that they learn and get mentored at their own pace and on their own schedule.

It is opportunities like these that drive our mission to create a free online asynchronous training in lived-reality documentary filmmaking. It is based on our decades of experience teaching filmmaking and working with under- and mis-represented communities.

With your support we can realize this unique vision. But we still have $24,000 to raise before the end of June so that we can begin production. Please contribute what you can. Thank you!

Michael Sheridan is one of the best teachers one could hope to have. He has a genuine commitment to facilitating students’ ability to realize their vision, which is backed by a deep understanding of technology and technique. I had the pleasure of hiring Michael to teach over twenty years, and student reviews were always excellent.

Five Dark Years – the Fall of Humanity and the Silencing of a Generation

Five years have passed since the fall of Afghanistan—a period that, for millions of people, has meant far more than lost years. It has been five years of humiliation, deprivation, fear, silence, and the gradual erosion of hope and human dignity.

Five years ago, Afghanistan fell into the hands of a group that, instead of building a future, closed the doors of life on its people. During these five years, the Taliban have not moved toward reform or change. On the contrary, with each passing day, restrictions have expanded and life has become increasingly difficult for millions of Afghans. The rights to education, work, freedom of movement, social participation, and many of the most basic freedoms of human beings—particularly women and girls—have been taken away.
