[Frameworks] Grants available for University Film Festivals

[Antonieta Astudillo]

Hi Daniela, 

I'm a Grad student at Emerson College in Boston. I'm from Chile and part of the Graduate Student Organization (MFA Collaborative) at the Visual and Media Arts department, at the moment I'm working on a grad film festival and I was just part of the New England Media Symposium www.neediasymposium.com 
Since I entered the program last Fall I've been trying to do something with Spanish speaking directors. I'm the only Spanish speaking student in the MFA program at Emerson and I feel committed to bring some films and film makers to the campus. 

Best,

Anto
