Big Picture Alliance’s digital media programs, independent filmmaking, and paid apprenticeships provide Philly youth ages 12-24 with the tools to tell their own stories and the skills to succeed in school, life and career. We’re helping to cultivate a new generation of storytellers who contribute towards a more inclusive, equitable and just society.

Digital media Programs

Our pathway of school, summer and workforce programs bring industry professionals into classrooms and communities to teach digital filmmaking from script-to-screen and from curiosity-to-careers.

Independent Filmmaking

Our youth-led independent films reach thousands every year through screenings, broadcasts, social media, and our annual Big Picture Film Fest.

Professional Media services

Our production company creates high-quality content for local clients and community partners while employing our youth through paid apprenticeships.
