The charitable mission of the Catalina Film Institute is to champion IMAGINATION, EDUCATION and DESTINATION with year-round film workshops, industry panels and inspiring events! This California Non-Profit Public Benefit Corporation comprised of industry professionals that love film, the creative process, and the story-tellers that create thought-provoking film and new media. Our goal is to help foster the growth of these creative story-tellers worldwide, but also celebrate, promote and educate on this art-form within film and the film-making process (utilizing all the stages of creation, its components, mediums and distribution channels).
