Partner With Purpose

Become a Sponsor

Your support powers Out The Frame Initiative (OTFI) — a youth-centered storytelling and filmmaking pipeline — and helps Bernard E’van Productions build sustainable opportunities for emerging creatives.

Out The Frame Initiative serves Black and Brown youth in Los Angeles — especially in and around Inglewood — with access to screenwriting, filmmaking, mentorship, and real-world production experience. Sponsorships directly support student cohorts, equipment, classroom technology, and the practical resources that make participation possible.

Whether you’re underwriting a full program, sponsoring a specific tier, or making a one-time or monthly contribution, every dollar helps students move from “I think I can” to “I’m on the call sheet.”
