Empowering future filmmakers.
Elevated Films Chicago is a nonprofit organization dedicated to advancing independent cinema and empowering youth through the arts. Our dual mission is to elevate the visibility of today's most compelling independent filmmakers and to nurture the next generation of storytellers through hands-on mentorship and arts outreach programs across Chicago.
Support Elevated Films
Powerful stories can change lives. By showcasing bold independent films and supporting youth arts across the city, we connect communities, amplify underrepresented voices, and inspire the next generation of storytellers.
But we can't do it without your support. Help us elevate cinema — and the young artists who will shape its future.
