Film & Television School (GIFTS). Every successful applicant will get a
chance to work with a team of accomplished filmmakers and other creative

should resist!

"Love is profoundly political. Our deepest revolution will
come when we understand this truth. Only Love can
give us the strength to go forward in the midst of
heartbreak and misery. Only Love can give us the
power to reconcile, to redeem, the power to renew weary
spirits and save lost souls.The transformative power of
Love is the foundation of all meaningful social change."
