Submit your short film proposal to shine a light on mental health issues to Art With Impact. Anyone and everyone is welcome to submit a proposal for a short film, within one or both mental health categories for this year: mental health issues specific to Black people, and mental health issues specific to immigration experiences. All you need is an idea, and a little bit of thought into how you would create the five-minute film. Everything you need to submit can be found in the Request for Proposals on the Art With Impact website. The submission deadline is October 15, 2020.

The world premiere of these films will take place on June 21, 2021 and will be followed by a week-long festival of dialogue and discussion on topics related to mental health in marginalized communities. Art With Impact has a mission to promote mental wellness by creating spaces for young people to learn and connect through art and media. Their innovative arts-based workshops and interactive festivals highlight films about mental health with the goal of reaching audiences of college students and community members. Since 2012 Art With Impact has directly impacted over 10,000 students.
